Bug-eyed Aldo Fabrizi (who also directs) is Giuseppe Passaguai, the harried head of the Passaguai family, who decide to take advantage of a company discount and spend a day at the beach. Several of Giuseppe's co-workers at a Roman vegetable company have also decided to go. Along the way we meet a curious young man who is full questions for Giuseppe; Giuseppe's daughter Marcella's (Giovanna Ralli) secret boyfreind clandestinely following them; a man determined to enjoy a watermelon on the beach, no matter what happens; corporate gossip and backstabbing; Giuseppe's wife, who believes Giuseppe is cheating on her with someone at the beach, and many more characters and misunderstandings that make it anything but a day at the beach. Also with Peppino De Filippo.
