Synopsis
In Italy in 1944, the Fascist High Command sends the fanatical Primo Arcovazzi to find and capture Professor Bonafè, a well-known anti-Fascist, who is hiding until the liberation of the country from the Germans. En route to Rome, the two are involved in a series of incidents, including imprisonment by the Germans, an air raid, and the loss of their clothes. When they arrive in Rome on 4 June 1944, the city is about to fall to the Americans, and a crowd of revenge-seeking citizens beat up and want to shoot Arcovazzi, who is dressed in a Fascist officer's uniform sold to him by the two teenagers responsible for stealing his own clothes. Bonafè lends Arcovazzi his civilian clothing, however, and helps him escape.
