Veteran
actor Riccardo Cucciolla plays a respected bachelor professor named Eduardo
Ranieri. The film opens as he picks up a prostitute, chases her through
a wooded area and viciously murders her. Fabio, a city worker fishing
nearby, sees the assault. As Ranieri swings the final death blows to the
girl, the two men see each other in the thicket. Scared, Fabio flees.
For a number of reasons, the witness is afraid to report the crime and
soon feels justified in his reluctance because the report on TV claim
the police have a suspect and an arrest is expected soon. However, Fabio
doesn't know that Professor Ranieri has covered his tracks by reporting
that he had witnessed the murder and describe Fabio as the killer.
