Un giornalista romagnolo vive a Roma coltivando ambizioni letterarie, a contatto con il bel mondo della café society internazionale che lo allontana progressivamente dalle sue sane radici provinciali e dalle sue ambizioni; alla fine l'aspirante scrittore si ritrova a fare l'agente di un attore di Cinecittà e l'animatore di squallide feste mondane.
