- "Miseria e Nobiltà" tells the story of the humble families of Felice Pasquale and his colleague who are hired by a Marquis who wants to marry the daughter of a rich but simple cook, so they pose as aristocrats.
- A petty criminal poses as a Turkish eunuch hired by a wealthy merchant to guard the women of his house.
- Felice Sciosciammocca, the mayor of Roccasecca, sends his nephew Ciccillo to Naples so that he will become a good doctor.
- Highly stylised biopic of the last Pagan Roman-Byzantine Emperor, Julian the Philosopher, known to Christians as 'the Apostate'. Orphaned by his cousin Constantius (Costanzo), and narrowly escaping death himself as a child, Julian is brought up on the Greek classics by his faithful tutor Mardonius. Constantius's seductive wife, Eusebia, has designs on him, but he is given the emperor's sister Elena as his bride. She is a Christian, and is herself the object of the unrequited affection of her teenaged page. After Julian is posted to Gaul as Caesar, to fight the barbarians, the romantic rivalries come to a tragic climax. Julian becomes Emperor, avenges the woman he realises, too late, he loved, and sets out on a fatal campaign against the Persians... The script is stronger on romance than politics, emphasising the (fictional) intersecting love-triangles. However, Duilio Cambellotti's striking Byzantine-Art Nouveau costumes and Luigi Mancinelli's score make it retain interest.
- Totò is a tailor, just not a great one. He is married and his son is to be baptized, and Totò hopes that his grandmother will be moved by the baptism to help him financially. Unfortunately the wet-nurse Maria loses the baby in the garden. Totò doesn't lose heart; he "borrows" Rita's daughter and leaves looking for his son. Many adventures are waiting for him.
- Carmine, butler and pygmalion to a starlet, gets herself a rich husband and gets rid of a broke suitor of hers.
