Synopsis
Albert Rinaldi is a simple bank employee whose naivety makes him an
object of ridicule amongst his colleagues. When a woman named
Jenny fails to keep an appointment with him, he is certain that once
again his colleagues are having a joke at his expense. One day,
his manager asks him to transport a large sum of money, but the van is
attacked and the money is stolen. At first, Albert is accused of
the theft, but he is released when the police fail to find any
proof. The next day, a woman named Jenny is murdered.
Convinced that the robbery and the killing are in some way connected,
Alberts begins his own inquiry, and proves that he is not as stupid as
people seem to think...
