The movie starts with Pina, Ugo Fantozzi's wife, calling the Italpetrolcemetermotessilfarmometalchimica industry (where his husband works at) asking to look if her husband is still there, since she has no news about him from 18 days. They'll find out that for some reasons, Fantozzi got stuck inside the closed walls of the industry's old bathrooms.
In the first episode, Fantozzi has a new plan to reach his office at time. He sets his alarm clock at 7:51 and tries to do everything in just a couple of seconds, so he can get the bus at 8:00 and get in the office at 8:30. 5 seconds to wake up, 3 seconds to drink very very hot coffee and other things. But he'll end up not being in time to get on the bus so he'll decide to get on the bus by jumping from the balcony. He'll make it, but he'll end up making all the passenger which are already on the bus fall out. He'll finally reach his office (on an ambulance) in time, but he'll faint before reaching the stamping machine.
In the second episode, Fantozzi goes at the funeral of the mega-president of the industry (dead at age 126) After the funeral, Fantozzi asks to Miss Silvani if she would like to go out and get a drink with him. She accepts but she'll end up causing troubles to him, by insulting some rude drivers who were next to them. They'll beat up Fantozzi, since they think it's immoral to punch a woman. He'll end up having his car destroyed.
In third episode, Fantozzi plays in the football match organized by Filini, but the match will end up being cancelled due to rain.
In fourth episode, Fantozzi and Filini go out for a trip at the lake. First, they'll get in trouble by filling with water an important guy's car. Then, they'll get injuried by fixing the tent and then they'll get lost by sailing on a bad little boat.
In fifth episode, all of the dependents of the industry where Fantozzi works at's children have to get inside the director's office and tell a poem they made up. Fantozzi's daughter, even that she created a very original poem, will get insulted and made fun of, cause of her terrible, awful look.
Sixth episode. It's New Year's Eve, and Fantozzi goes to a party with his colleagues. Everything is a disaster: the waiter throws every plate over Fantozzi's dress, he falls through a window during the dance and the band leader rigs the clock (he has to go to another party) and runs away at half past ten. At midnight, someone throws a heavy cuisine over Fantozzi's car, destroying it.
