Meo bungles his way into the Vatican vocal conservatory that separates the boys from the men, bribes the surgeon not to operate on him, but somehow manages to retain a passable falsetto. Later favored by the nobility, the false capon cuckolds his patrons. He reveals his secret to one elegant lady (Anouk Aimée) while he helps her undress. Another (Barbara Steele) learns the truth...
