Plot

In a small village in Tuscany, the poor carpenter Geppetto decides to fabricate a wooden puppet naming it Pinocchio. Pinocchio, however, starts running all over the city, sowing weeds between one street and another, until he is stopped by two carabinieri. When Pinocchio refuses to go home, the carabinieri, hearing people think that Geppetto is probably violent with the puppet, arrest him and let go of Pinocchio. Despite criticism from a talking cricket, who Pinocchio silences with a hammer, Pinocchio goes home, and dreams of his life as a vagabond who he intends to do. When Geppetto returns, the next morning, Pinocchio, having burned his feet, agrees to behave well and to start going to school.

To allow him to study, Geppetto sells his tunic for the abbey, but Pinocchio, instead of going to school, sells the book to attend a puppet show. Also living, the puppets invite Pinocchio to the stage, angering Fire-Eater, who first intends to burn him but then changes his mind and gives him gold coins, after learning about Geppetto, and sends him home escorted by his employees, the Cat and the Fox, who trick him into taking the money, telling him about the Fields of Miracles, where coins sprout in trees of money.
