A lighthearted farce about three Italian con men facing comedic comeuppance when their abandoned Bulgarian conquests threaten to track them down after the fall of the Iron Curtain.

Three Italian womanizers in Bulgaria smooth-talk three local girls to bed and then vanish back to their country. But when the iron curtain suddenly falls, they fear that the girls might come to Italy to have them fulfill the promises made.
