Plot edit

When young Libero loses his parents he is taken in by his disreputable atheist grandfather and the girl who shares his life, previously a prostitute, on their farm. However, the court decides that until he comes of age he must be brought up by his three unmarried aunts, all of impeccable morals, and with the help of a priest and a policeman the three remove him to their home. The eldest sister has long given up hope of finding a husband, but the two younger and prettier ones are excited by the handsome newcomer and in making a great fuss of him arouse his masculinity. One of them gives music lessons and one of her pupils, closer to Libero's age, sets her sights on him. The grandfather is happy to see the boy matched with anybody other than the aunts he despises as devout virgins and hypocrites.
