A woman marries a gambler, thinking she could straighten him up, but he loses all their assets, even their own house, and tries to commit suicide. But one of the winners falls for his stepdaughter, and this could change the situation.

Isidoro Colepicula is a humble truck driver hired to transport some furniture from São Paulo to Santos, in his worn out truck he calls "Anastácio". Hiding among the pieces travels a bride who's trying to escape her own marriage. With his dog Coroné, he gets himself into many amusing situations, especially when the packed vehicle is left without brakes on a steep road, and he has to chase after it.

On a small coastal town, a light-keeper lives in total seclusion after his wife's passing. His daughter is also there and she becomes his only contact with the other locals, and when a helper is sent to assist him on duties, she asks a childhood friend of hers to marry her, so he can be appointed as her father's helper.

Isidoro, a poor guy, suddenly becomes a millionaire, and gets into the most bizarre situations.
