Tabloid reporter Marcello's beat is Rome's international jet set. In pursuit of the next big scandal, Marcello is continually seduced and repulsed by the hedonistic lifestyle of the rich, amoral and bored to whom nothing is sacred. His values are being destroyed, leaving him totally disillusioned as he experiences the emptiness behind the glitz of "the sweet life."
