In 100 kilomettres Rome removed perched village Latina Luisa Santini to her husband's mistress Norma murdered Zeitzler. The defendant asserts her innocence, but the evidence speaks against her. Prosecutor Turrisi sees the chance of getting a promotion to Rome through this case and is making sure that the process is pushed ahead in great haste. Only the young and inexperienced defense lawyer Marco Manin doubts Santini's guilt. Turrisi eventually wins the guilty verdict and is in fact promoted. Because manslaughter Luisa Santini was sentenced to ten years in prison. Marco Manin then changes from criminal to civil law out of disappointment with the judiciary.

Luisa Santini will have three years off her sentence for good conduct, so that she will be released after seven years. Manin, who apparently also has a romantic interest in Santini, picks her up from prison and helps her with the first steps in freedom. He also determines the current address of her husband, who meanwhile lives with a new lover in Rome. When Santini visits her husband, she sees that the supposed new lover is Norma Zeitzler, for whose murder she was convicted. In a blind rage, she kills the woman and subsequently insists that she can no longer be prosecuted because she has already served the sentence. Nevertheless, she will be tried again.

Lawyer Manin then decides to defend Luisa Santini and also to reopen the old proceedings, Turrisi acts again as public prosecutor.
