A gang of outlaws abducts a bride from her wedding celebration. They head to a monastery, where the bandit heading the gang tries to marry the girl. The priest refuses to solemnize the marriage without the girl's consent. When the gang leaves the monastery with the girl, the priest pursues them and picks off the gang members one by one.

The film, "like various other films by Pastore, received a very limited theatrical release and attracted very few spectators".[6]
The only evidences of the film's existence today are its posters, lobby cards and soundtrack (composed by Piero Umiliani)[7][8] as no remaining copy is known;[5] it is thus considered a lost film.[9]
The film's original music was released by Beat Records[10] in 2012.[11]
