Kri-Kri e Checco, two poor down-and-outs, read about a female beauty contest which promises big prizes. With the help of a cat’s claws, they acquire costumes for a contestant and a chaperone. Kri-Kri succeeds in defeating the competition, and his disguise literally entraps the good sense of the president of the jury. Unfortunately, at the banquet in his honour Kri-Kri bursts his too tight bosom. Unfortunately, too, the surviving print of the film is damaged exactly at the point of this final gag.
