action
The Sicilian Rosario Rao moves with his two sons to Northern Italy in search of work . While visiting a soccer game in the Turin soccer stadium, a man is shot dead right next to him. The innocent Rao is arrested and sentenced as a scapegoat to prison after witnesses bribed by the Mafioso Fridda incriminated him. Rao's 13-year-old son Mino believes in his father's innocence and tries to find the real perpetrator on his own, with the support of lawyer Mancuso and a prostitute . However, you encounter a wall of silence. First of all, the prostitute dies, allegedly in an accident, falling through a window. When Mino gets too close to the Syndicate, he is ambushed and brutally beaten.
When Rao is allowed to visit his son in the hospital, he escapes. He procures a weapon and begins a campaign of revenge, to which the man who beat up his son first falls victim. Chased by the police, he finally chases and shoots the Mafioso Fridda, who appears in public as a wealthy building contractor .
criticism
