Passion turns deadly when beautiful but frustrated Giovanna (Deep Red's Clara Calamai) finds herself helplessly drawn to Gino (Last Tango in Paris' Massimo Girotti), a handsome drifter staying at her inn. Repulsed by her husband, Giovanna begs Gino to rid her of the unappreciative spouse and help her to collect his hefty insurance premium, the solution to all their problems. The course of cold-blooded murder never runs smoothly, however, and soon the lovers are trapped in a downward spiral of deception, jealousy and cruel fate.
