Plot
Ms. Elena runs a marriage agency in a big city. The most diverse people come to her: Mrs. Amalia doesn't stop complaining about the betrothed chosen for her nephew, Donato has dragged her friend Peppino, a passionate cyclist, there, so that he can finally find a wife. Elena believes that the ideal woman could be her client, Mara, who has a great passion for sport.
When she learns that the rich industrialist who was to marry Mitzi, another client of hers, has died, Elena sends her collaborator Mario, so that he can inform Mitzi as tactfully as possible and propose another suitor. There is also great anticipation for the arrival of Lodolini and the bride found by Elena. Finally, the right time may have come for Mrs. Elena too.
