Small-town orphan boy Valerio runs away from his guardian, the local priest. As he leaves the church, he enters a raffle, draws a card, the Seven of Goblets, and wins the raffle. As a grown man, Valerio goes from town to town playing cards, always keeping the card he drew in the raffle with him as his lucky charm. Valerio loses for the first time to Mauro, a young man who has come to town to race his mare against Valerio's horses. From then on, things get even worse, as both men fall in love with the same woman. (official distributor synopsis)
