A recently promoted police inspector (Gian Maria Volonté) kills his mistress (Florinda Bolkan), and then covers up his involvement in the crime. He insinuates himself into the investigation, planting clues to steer his subordinate officers toward a series of other suspects, including the woman's gay husband and a student radical. He then exonerates the other suspects and leads the investigators toward him, in order to prove that he is "above suspicion" and can get away with anything, even while being investigated. In the end, he confesses to the crime in front of his superiors - who refuse to believe him. Sure that he is safe, he recants his confession, and receives the approval of the police commissioner.

Lattuada suit les lignes directrices du roman homonyme dû à Vitaliano Brancati : Giovanni Percolla, jeune avocat catanais mène une existence morne et paresseuse auprès de ses trois sœurs, de vieilles filles qui ne cessent de le choyer. Son occupation principale consiste à traquer la gent féminine et à entretenir, avec d'autres amis masculins, de nombreux fantasmes sexuels. Or, l'arrivée en ville de Ninetta, une fille de l'aristocratie helvète qui semble être attirée par sa personnalité, le trouble profondément. Il s'éprend d'elle et l'épouse. Après s'être séparé de ses sœurs, il s'installe avec Ninetta, au Nord, à Milan. Là, il parvient à arracher un poste intéressant qui lui permet de progresser en affaires. Sa vie amoureuse le laisse néanmoins insatisfait. Dès lors, son travail, très contraignant pourtant, ne l'empêche pas de courtiser d'autres femmes : en particulier, Wanda, l'épouse d'un concurrent. Hélas, Wanda finit dans les bras d'un de ses amis catanais. Écœuré, puis lassé par l'ambiance milanaise, Giovanni retourne en Sicile où il renoue avec ses anciennes habitudes et son mode de vie nonchalant. Lattuada a, d'une part, modifié l'état d'esprit du héros à Milan et, aspect plus important encore, l'époque du roman : Brancati situe son récit, paru en 1942, à son époque, le fascisme, tandis que le cinéaste le transporte à la sienne, celle du miracle économique italien.
