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.

Giorgio et Luisa (Virna Lisi) sont de jeunes époux passionnément amoureux. Par une chaude après-midi d'été, Giorgio essaie de convaincre sa femme de faire l'amour avec lui, mais voilà ses approches interrompues par un coup de téléphone de sa belle-mère. Luisa, malgré les protestations de Giorgio, s’éternise dans une conversation avec sa mère, passant de sujets sans intérêt à des coups de colère (et la discussion téléphonique nous permet de savoir la piètre opinion que la belle-mère a de son gendre). Giorgio repère dans l'immeuble d’en face la nouvelle locataire, une ragazza plantureuse et, à ce qu’il a entendu dire, tout à fait décomplexée, et le voilà qui prétend être un vendeur d'encyclopédies pour pénétrer chez elle. Sans se rendre compte de rien, Luisa s’éternise au téléphone.
