Plot

The lawyer Mazzacolli (Proietti) wants to get his hands on the properties of a countess (Papas) and, helped by a local nobleman (Scaccia), staged the kidnapping of the countess' mentally-disabled child whose hand he had asked for (Savoy). The move would force the hand of the countess, particularly for granting the usufruct of the property to her future husband. Mazzacolli had not reckon with love, which unpredictably changes ideas and situations.^[4]
