After living in Cairo for 18 years, Antônio Carlos Volpone returns to his homeland for two reasons: first, to clarify the murder of his father-in-law, Dr. Telles, of which he was accused; the second, to get closer to his ex-wife Estela, now married to Orlando Aranha. The millionaire also arouses the interest of the media, and reporter Amélia Bicudo decides to investigate his life. To outwit his enemies and move freely, Volpone uses numerous disguises: the executive Anabela Freire, the doctor Nilo Peixe, the industrialist Augusto Melo Sampaio and the driver André Silva. With the help of his faithful secretary and friend, Mosca, he faces his main rival, Orlando Aranha, and Renata, Orlando's sister, who keeps secrets about the murder of Estela's father.
