Set in Florence during the Black Death, the film follows ten young Florentines who seek refuge from the plague. Instead of sharing stories like in The Decameron, they embark on wild adventures filled with lust, romance, and swordplay. Along the way, they encounter bawdy nuns, Saracen pirates, and even a seductive cow.
Pampinea, the daughter of a wealthy merchant who dies at the start of the film, finds herself in a whirlwind of danger. Lorenzo, a skilled gambler, is charmed by her beauty, while Gerbino De Ratta, a notorious local thug, seizes her family fortune, claiming her father’s debts. Gerbino threatens that the only way for her to survive is to marry him.
Meanwhile, Lorenzo is on the run from Gerbino after outwitting him at a gambling table. He hides in a convent, pretending to be a mute gardener, and soon becomes the object of desire for the convent’s randy nuns. However, when Pampinea arrives at the convent seeking refuge from Gerbino, she catches Lorenzo in the act and, fueled by jealousy, blindfolds and kisses him. Later, she exposes his deception to the abbess.
At the same time, Count Dzerzhinsky, Pampinea’s fiancé from Novgorod, arrives in Florence only to be ambushed by Gerbino’s men. Though his companions are killed, the Count survives and heads to Florence for his arranged marriage. On the way, he meets Elissa, Pampinea’s best friend, and mistakes her for his bride, falling in love with her instead.
Lorenzo is chased out of the convent and follows Pampinea to her family mansion. He confesses his love for the mysterious woman who kissed him while blindfolded, unaware it was Pampinea. Gerbino and his thugs arrive, imprisoning Lorenzo. To save him, Pampinea agrees to marry Gerbino. Lorenzo, banished to the woods, meets the Count, and together they return to the mansion to defeat Gerbino’s men. Gerbino meets his end by falling into a well.
In the end, Pampinea refuses to marry the Count, realizing he loves Elissa, who had been pretending to be her. She rushes to Lorenzo, and as they discover they were destined for each other all along, they share a kiss and get married the same day, with their friends gathered to celebrate.

Short filmTranscript
00:00In the starting scene of the movie, we see a painter painting in a church, where the
00:05man says that he does not get the money to paint here, and to get the money, the man
00:10goes to the priest of the church.
00:12After going there, the man finds out that the priest has died due to a disease called plague,
00:17after seeing which he feels very shocked, because now he was confirmed that there is
00:22no one to give him money.
00:24Then the man looks at the priest's dress on the side and decides that now he will become
00:29a priest, because the priest gets more money for his work.
00:32In the next scene, we see a man named Lorenzo running away, behind whom a man named Jervino
00:38was lying, because Lorenzo had defeated him in gambling.
00:41But somehow Lorenzo succeeds in running away from there, but Jervino orders his men that
00:47I need Lorenzo's corpse at any cost.
00:50On the other hand, we see that Lorenzo's friends are helping him run away, and they
00:55together give him a horse.
00:57After that, in the next scene, we see Queen Pampinia, who was praying for her mom and
01:02dad, because recently her mom and dad died due to a disease called plague.
01:06Then Jervino comes to her and asks her what will you do now, to which she says that I will
01:12marry the prince of Russia.
01:14Then Jervino shows his status and tells Pampinia that I had a lot of debt on your dad, and
01:20now after his death, I have a right on all his property, and if you want me not to take
01:25all his property, then you will have to marry me.
01:28After that, the scene shifts again, and then we see Lorenzo running away again.
01:32On the way, he meets a man who was taking a dead body with him.
01:37Then Lorenzo asks him who is this dead man and how did he die?
01:41Then that man tells Lorenzo that he was a mute gardener who worked in a church nearby,
01:47but he also died due to a disease called plague.
01:51So Lorenzo gets an idea that if he wants to escape from Jervino, he can go to that church.
01:57Then once again Jervino's men follow him and to escape from them he climbs a tree branch,
02:02because of which Jervino's men are unable to see him and they move forward.
02:07And Lorenzo somehow escapes, but unfortunately the tree branch breaks, because of which Lorenzo
02:13falls down and because of the injury he falls unconscious there.
02:17After that, two nuns come to him and they take him to the church together.
02:22And after going to the church, the two of them start looking at him in a dirty way,
02:26and the two of them start touching him here and there.
02:29Then suddenly Lorenzo also falls unconscious, but he deliberately pretends to be unconscious,
02:34because he was also having a lot of fun doing all this.
02:37Then suddenly another nun comes there, who tells those two nuns that you know that
02:42we need a mute man to work.
02:45So those two nuns tell him that he is mute.
02:48After hearing this, the nun also becomes happy.
02:50In the next scene, we see the same Pampinia, who comes to stay in the same church after
02:54being very upset with Jervino.
02:57In which Lorenzo used to work.
02:59After that, the two nuns were preparing Pampinia together.
03:02But then Pampinia's daughter goes to Lorenzo, to whom the two nuns ask who this guy is.
03:08Then those two nuns tell him that he is the gardener here and he cannot speak and hear.
03:13Then suddenly a nun goes to Lorenzo and she takes him to the jungle and starts having fun with him.
03:18But Pampinia was also seeing all this.
03:21And after seeing this, she gets very angry.
03:24Because Pampinia had fallen in love with Lorenzo somewhere.
03:27On the other hand, the prince of Russia had also reached Pampinia's house,
03:31where he meets Jervino.
03:33And he tells him to get out of here, because now Pampinia will marry me.
03:38After hearing this, the prince leaves there sad.
03:41But on the way, he meets a man who tells him that Pampinia has run away from Jervino.
03:47And she is waiting for you in the church of another city.
03:50After hearing this, the prince leaves there to find Pampinia.
03:54On the other hand, two unknown nuns come to Lorenzo.
03:57And she goes to Lorenzo and starts chatting with him.
04:00Pampinia was now breaking a lot from inside.
04:03Because she wanted no one to chat with Lorenzo.
04:06Because of which she starts keeping an eye on Lorenzo.
04:09But one day she hears Lorenzo singing by mistake.
04:12Because of which Pampinia makes a plan.
04:15And one day she goes to Lorenzo and ties a bandage on his eyes and asks him to kiss her.

04:23And I also want to marry you.
04:25But because of being blind, Lorenzo does not recognize her.
04:29After which Pampinia leaves there.
04:31But before returning from the church, Pampinia tells a nun that Lorenzo is not deaf.
04:37In fact, he is pretending to be deaf.
04:40And I saw him singing.
04:42When the nun finds out about this, she fires Lorenzo.
04:46Because of which Lorenzo comes to the road.
04:49And seeing Pampinia leaving there, Lorenzo tells her that I have no house and no place to live.
04:54And I don't have a job because of which I can make a living.
04:58And he starts requesting Pampinia.
05:00After which Pampinia agrees to him because Pampinia also wanted the same.
05:05And she takes Lorenzo with her and leaves there.
05:08On the other hand, a girl is seen bathing in the waterfall.
05:12Where the prince tells the girl that I am the prince of Russia.
05:16And I am looking for my Pampinia here.
05:18On which the girl lies to him and she tells him that I am your Pampinia.
05:23On which the prince also believes her.
05:26Because before this he had never seen Pampinia.
05:29On the other hand, Pampinia and Lorenzo were talking to each other.
05:32Where Lorenzo tells Pampinia that I love a girl in the church.
05:37And that girl blindfolded me and kissed me.
05:40And she also told me that I love you and I want to marry you.
05:45But I haven't seen her face yet.
05:48After hearing this, Pampinia also becomes very happy.
05:51Because she understands that Lorenzo also loves her.
05:54On which Pampinia tells Lorenzo that if you kiss me, you will get that girl.
05:59Then Lorenzo was going to kiss her.
06:01But suddenly Gervino comes there.
06:03And there is a fight between Gervino and Lorenzo.
06:06In which Lorenzo loses.
06:08And Gervino puts Lorenzo in the dungeon.
06:11The next day, Pampinia tells Gervino that I am ready to marry you.
06:16But before the wedding, you will have to leave Lorenzo.
06:19Hearing this, Gervino also agrees to it.
06:21And he calls a priest for the wedding.
06:23But the priest was no one else but the same painter.
06:26After this, Pampinia goes to the priest and tells him to postpone the wedding date as much as possible.
06:33On which the priest also does the same.
06:35But seeing the wedding date moving forward, Gervino takes out a sword and puts it on the priest's neck.
06:40Then the prince of Russia comes there.
06:42And then Lorenzo also comes there.
06:44After which they both start fighting with Gervino's men.
06:48And after the fight is over, Lorenzo also starts fighting with Gervino.

07:00And she goes to the prince and refuses to marry him.
07:03After which the prince looks at her face.
07:05And he says that you are not the Pampinia with whom I wanted to marry.

07:12Which the prince found near the waterfall.
07:14And she goes to that prince.
