 An Italian-born actress turned stage mother brings her daughter Sandy to Rome for three months  work as a supermodel. Sandy, who s between "soap and water" and womanhood, needs a tutor. Mom wants scholarly Father Spinelli, but when she calls his school, she reaches Rolando, a janitor who longs to teach. He s broke, so robed as a priest, he shows up to take the job. He s a terrific teacher, but Sandy soon realizes he s not Spinelli and will keep quiet only if he ll take her out under the guise of study. When mom meets the real Spinelli and sacks the child-like Rolando, Sandy sulks; then she figures out how to act on her feelings for Rolando and on her emerging maturity.
