Synopsis
Andrea Artusi is a successful hat manufacturer who is proud of his popular and beautiful wife, Maria Grazia. Despite his happy home life, he is drawn into an extra-marital affair with Christiana, a respected married woman. So clever is Christiana at arranging their trysts and so cunning is she at deceiving her husband that Andrea soon begins to wonder whether Maria Grazia is similarly disloyal. Becoming increasingly suspicious, he accuses Maria Grazia of being unfaithful and demands to know the name of her secret love. Bored with his jealous rages, Maria Grazia arbitrarily identifies an antique dealer, Gabriele, as her paramour. Outraged, Andrea leaps into his car, sets out to confront the innocent Gabriele, but instead crashes into a stone wall. During his convalescence, he monitors his wife's telephone calls and thus hears her apologize to Gabriele for involving him in the deception. His confidence in Maria Grazia restored, Andrea is once more a contented husband--so content, in fact, that he is oblivious to the fact that Maria Grazia has entered into a romantic liaison with the young doctor who treated him.
