Un operaio disoccupato trova un posto d'attacchino municipale, ma ci vuole la bicicletta. L'operaio ne possiede una ma è al monte di pietà. Niente paura: la moglie impegna le lenzuola e riscatta la bicicletta. L'attacchino incomincia il suo lavoro, ma dopo meno di un'ora, un ragazzaccio gli ruba questa preziosa bicicletta. Tenta d'inseguirlo ma è inutile. L'uomo ritorna a casa in preda alla disperazione. Denuncia il furto al Commissariato, ma non gli danno nessuna speranza. Nessuno prende interesse al suo caso all'infuori di un amico spazzino. L'attacchino si aggira tra i rivenditori di biciclette: non trova la sua, ma intravede il ladro e si dà ad inseguirlo, accompagnato dal figliolo, un bimbo di sei anni. L'inseguimento gli fa attraversare tutta Roma in un giorno di domenica: vediamo così la "messa del povero", una trattoria, una casa equivoca, infine il domicilio del ladruncolo. L'attacchino trova dovunque indifferenza od ostilità. Infine, esasperato, pensa di rivalersi, rubando una bicicletta incustodita, ma lo fa così goffamente che viene subito preso e solo i pianti del bambino lo salvano dall'arresto. Padre e figlio tornano a casa, esausti, disperati, piangenti
