Keeping an old resentment against Montelepre – a Sicilian aristocratic family –, an influential gangster named Rizzardi (Vasilis Diamantopoulos), takes possession of the palace of last representative of the family, Francesco Montelepre (Sami Frey), who he plans to kill.

Despite the help of Carla (Jenny Karezi), a nightclub singer, his research are vain. And now Rizzardi's henchmen, led by Navarra (Spýros Fokás) are in pursuit again.

Still Navarra found and pursues them. Francesco kill him, but in the exchange of gunfire, Anna was fatally wounded by a bullet. Francesco returned to Sicily to take revenge by killing Rizzardi ...
