Garetti, a primary school teacher, with a wife, four children and inadequate salary, struggles with the difficulties of daily life. Nevertheless, he is an eternal optimist. One day he meets an Indian prince who asks him to act as his guide to Rome, and having seen his home and situation, helps him out. The visitor leaves when he becomes Sultan of his country, leaving poor Garetti to struggle on. One day, however, he receives a small elephant from the Sultan as a gift for his children.
