Synopsis
The leader of a gang of thieves (Francisco Petrone) is on the run from the police.
He wins the lottery, and needs someone honest to collect the prize for him.
He has diverse underworld friends, but none can be trusted.
Given the risk of being sent to prison for perhaps fifty years, the honest person must be very, very special.
He finally finds the woman he needs living in a boarding house.
Alicia Vignoli answers his want ad, which gives the film's title. She is wide-eyed and innocent, and does not realize she is being hired by a crook.
Petrone falls in love, and decides to become honest himself.

The film was well-received, described as a good-humored comedy.
