Elia is a farmer who lives in isolation in Rovignano. Definitely antisocial, he does not like the city or company, but above all he is bothered by the presence of women, whom he sees as disturbers of rural peace. Mamy, the housekeeper, is the only female figure allowed on his farm: in an attempt to make him less irascible, he has tried several times to find a girl for Elia, but to no avail. One evening, during a thunderstorm, the beautiful Lisa suffers a car breakdown and asks for hospitality at the farm of the misanthrope, where he has the opportunity to experience his rude ways. Over time, however, the girl discovers that she is in love with the rough peasant, even going so far as to betray her boyfriend Vittorio and to quarrel with her friend Renata, who also tries to seduce Elia. Lisa finally manages to seduce Elia: the two get married and Lisa chooses country life.
