After a revenge murder lands him in prison, Graziano Cassitta escapes with a fellow inmate and joins him in a bandit gang.

The story

In the Sardinian hinterland, local rules differ from those governing the rest of the island. Graziano Cassitta commits a murder for revenge and is imprisoned. He escapes with Miguel Lopez, a Spaniard, and the two go into hiding. Together they form a gang and engage in kidnappings and other acts of banditry. Their flight from the law unfolds in a region with its own distinct social order, as authorities pursue the fugitives.

Full plot (contains spoilers)

In the Sardinian hinterland, special rules apply, independent of those governing the rest of the island. Graziano Cassitta commits a murder for revenge, ends up in prison, and escapes with the Spaniard Miguel Lopez. Going into hiding, the two form a gang and carry out kidnappings and other acts of banditry together, until Miguel is killed in a gunfight with law enforcement. Graziano manages to evade capture, but a short time later, he is stopped at a roadblock and arrested by the police.
