a wealthy family is made up of extravagant and bizarre people, starting with their strange and forgetful father, his mother who has megalomaniac ideas, a philosopher butler and the five daughters of whom three are dedicated morning and evening to various trills and vocalizations. one of the girls is in love with a radio singer she doesn't even know and the other is home to all the abandoned children she accidentally meets. in a fortuitous case the bizarre family ends up in front of the eiar microphones and improvises a fun and imaginative show, with complications due to the misunderstanding that arises between the singer idolized by one of the girls and the exchange of people: in fact the star of the song thinks that her admirer is the one who looks after abandoned children and flatters her, flatters her. but then everything becomes clear and the final marriage is inevitable.
