In order to be able to offer his wife Carmela a certain amount of prosperity, a poor fisherman takes part in a trip into the China Sea, which is well paid.

Vito, ill and weak-willed, suffers from the betrayal of his friend and the pointed remarks of the villagers.

After another episode of illness, he tries to get Cristina out of the milieu and place her with a friend of his mother's. He also promises her the wedding. However, when Carmela tries to confront her rival, she decides to return to the cathouse. At the last moment, Vito can prevent that.
