Sinopsis:

Domenico is a stationmaster of a sleepy railway station. On one cold and rainy night, he passes the long and boring hours comically timing everything he can think of with his chronometer: from when the train passes, to how long it takes the coffee to perk.

Meanwhile, at a fancy party in a villa, rich girl Flavia is quarrelling with her overbearing lover Danilo, she runs off to catch the first train for Rome and Danilo furiously watches a contract go up in smoke without her knowing.

Domenico and Flavia get acquainted during a long night of waiting for the 6 a.m. train. But their budding friendship is abruptly interrupted by Danilo's drunken return. He goes on a rampage and wrecks the station, while Domenico and Flavia barricade themselves inside.
