Dans une ville d'Italie, des femmes de notables et de politiciens sont sauvagement assassinées par un tueur en série. Point commun de toutes les victimes : elles sont belles, se connaissent et trompent leur mari. D'abord épiées, elles sont ensuite photographiées avec leurs amants par le meurtrier qui, enfin, s'introduit chez elles pour les tuer à l'arme blanche. Avant de quitter les lieux, il laisse à côté de la victime les clichés compromettants qu'il a pris d'elles, le visage de l'amant ayant été préalablement effacé par le maniaque.
