Angelo Donnini and his younger brother Gino are of Italian origin, living in Australia in the 1950s.

Angelo is insecure, silent and introverted and not at all good-looking, while Gino is the complete opposite: outgoing, funny and handsome.

Angelo looks for a wife and writes letters to Italian girls in hope of a match.

In the end, Rosetta, believing that she has failed to gain Gino's affections, decides to return to Italy with the help of Father Alfredo.

In the final scene of the film, which seems to be a few years later, it shows the wedding party of Connie and Angelo, while Gino is married to Rosetta and they have a newborn baby.
