Three stories set in summer Rome, three characters all played by Verdone: an awkward young man meets a Spanish tourist; another one plans a trip towards East with a suitcase full of stockings and biro pens; a hippie is visited by his father, who tries to convince him to get back home.
A detective sick and tired of the rampant crime and violence in his city, and constantly at odds with his superiors, is finally kicked out of the department for a "questionable" shooting of a vicious criminal. However, he is soon approached by a representative for a group of citizens who themselves are fed up with what they see as criminals going unpunished, and they make him an offer he may very well not refuse.
