7.0In this delightful mixture of romance, comedy and music, the director turns back the wheel of time about sixty years and shows the audience an Italy of primitive railroads, high bicycles and the famous "dolce far niente." Taking the visit of a traveling opera company to a small town, where it is scheduled to present "Il Barbiere di Siviglia" and where one of the most important citizens is a retired opera singer, the scenario writer weaves a web of merry complications well calculated to keep the spectators in a happy mood.

Meanwhile, a bridge ahead has collapsed, and the train is unaware due to the thieves’ isolation of the locomotive. Panic ensues among the passengers. Just as disaster looms, the young engineer sees a glowing cross in the fog, prompting him to stop the train in time. The cross is revealed to be a rosary from his mother, reflecting off the headlight. This divine sign saves everyone, and the thieves are captured.
