Plot:

Don Antonino Stella, head of the mafia in a Sicilian town, allows himself to be arrested by the carabinieri, certain of being acquitted at trial. In his absence, Vito Juvara, his favourite, plans to continue his work by adopting all the attitudes of the boss towards others. He has his eye on Francesca Cimarosa, a beautiful sixteen-year-old daughter of a poor earthquake victim, who lives off the work of the fields, and becomes engaged to her. But the girl, under a sweet and submissive appearance hides a proud and proud temperament, so when she realises, from Vito's behaviour, that he regards her as an object and not as a human being, she breaks off the engagement. The fact is sensational and the hidden irony of the people and the more open irony of the enemies or followers wounds Vito's pride so that, with the help of three young men, he kidnaps Francesca and rapes her, certain that she will ask him to marry him. But things turn out differently.
