Synopsis
Ricky Fuller, a 20-year-old Liverpool guitar-player and member of the Mods, takes part in a gang war against the Rockers. His girl friend is killed in the fracas, and Ricky flees with the police in pursuit. He travels from London to Paris and Genoa and finally to Rome, where he seeks out his father, Robert, an oil tycoon. The meeting does nothing to bridge the gap between Ricky and his father, who is planning a second marriage to Sonia, a member of Italian high society. Sonia attempts to seduce Ricky, and the rivalry between father and son eventually drives Ricky from the comfortable surroundings of Robert's house. He becomes involved in the decadent life of young performers in Rome, meanwhile falling in love with Martine, Sonia's sister. Finally, Ricky succeeds in escaping with Martine from the morass of decadence in which they have been engulfed.
