Maria Williams, a young American secretary, comes to Rome to work at the U.S. Distribution Agency. Anita Hutchins, whose post she is taking, meets her and brings her to the villa she shares with Frances, secretary to the author John Frederick Shadwell. At the Trevi Fountain the three hear the legend that a coin tossed with a wish to return to Rome will come true. Maria and Frances throw coins in; Anita, who says she is going home to marry, keeps hers. At the agency, Maria meets Giorgio Bianchi, a translator, and learns that romances between American secretaries and Italian staff are banned. That evening, at a party, Maria is charmed by Prince Dino di Cessi, though she is warned he is a womanizer. Giorgio invites Anita to his family's country farm.
