Small town cop Roberto Rossi prefers to do things his own way in Urbino. As long as he only asks tourists to pay, nobody gets in his way. His best friend, the budding forensic doctor Malpomena del Vecchio, has more confidence in him. But so far the usually ill-tempered "Poliziotto" sees no reason for excessive ambition. His well-rehearsed working day comes to an abrupt end when he discovers a disfigured corpse. The beautiful Carmela Tozzi is laid out in the cisterns deep below the Palazzo Ducale: her eyes glued with tree wax, a Bible on her chest and the traces of a rape on her thighs. Everything points to ritual murder and requires a skilled investigator. Because all the commissioners are sick, Rossi is forced to solve this scary case. His vain superior Commander Nevio Cottelli and the unscrupulous Vice Mayor Enrico Manchetti do not make it easy for him. Both want someone to blame quickly, so they push for them The frightened fruit dealer Ciro, for whom the dead woman worked, is arrested. But Rossi, who is making slow progress, does not want to participate. He receives a helpful tip from a new resident, of all people, whom he loves to cover with traffic knobs and have them towed away. Malpomena, on the other hand, appreciates the expertise of the charming detective inspector a. D. Thilo Gruber. Of course, that makes him even less likeable to the jealous Poliziotto.
