Rita, who ran away from boarding school after winning a singing contest, arrives in Rome with the help of Paolo, her music teacher. They find themselves at Fortezza Colleoni, where her parents live with three aunts. Her father runs an academy for aspiring "Swiss guards" awaiting recognition. Wanting to stay close to Rita, Paolo joins the academy. However, they both seek a new chance at fame by attempting to participate in a TV show in Sestriere. Rita's father thwarts their plans by locking her up, but she escapes with her mother's help. Together, they head to Sestriere. When her father realizes the escape, he kidnaps Rita.
