Federico Fellini collabora alla sceneggiatura.
Un giovane pretore giunge in un paese della Sicilia deciso a combattere con tutti i mezzi la mafia. Osteggiato dagli abitanti - solo un ragazzo, Paolino, gli diventa amico - egli non demorde neppure quando si rende conto che l'omertà della popolazione (di fronte ad un omicidio) rende impossibile il suo lavoro. Quando, poi, finisce per scontrarsi con un notabile del luogo che si rifiuta di riaprire una zolfatara che darebbe lavoro a molti e viene ferito, il pretore decide di andarsene. La morte violenta di Paolino gli fa cambiare idea.
