| An unscrupulous
womanizer, as devoid of morals as he once was full of idealistic
fervor, returns to Italy where he is wanted for a series of
political crimes. To avoid prison he sells out his old friends,
turns his back on his former ideals, and cuts deals with crooked
cops. To achieve the guise of respectability he is willing
to go even further, maybe even as far as murder. |
