Rome. Police Commissioner Nicola Palmieri is on the trail of a racketeering gang: his investigations, however, are hindered by the victims’ fear and the hostility of his superiors who do not approve of his methods. Determined to go all the way, Palmieri enlists two petty criminals, Zio Pepe and his nephew Picchio, who provide him with information on the racketeers in exchange for some freedom of action. Zio Pepe warns the police of a robbery that’s about to take place: a fierce gunfight ensues where the bandits are defeated, and on this occasion Palmieri is helped by an Olympic skeet shooting champion, engineer Gianni Rossetti. However, the criminals exact revenge on both Rossetti, raping his wife and burning her alive, and Pepe, making him kill his own nephew.
