Corrupt politicians in Naples, Italy, argue endlessly over who is responsible for the tragic collapse of a building. All signs point to Rod Steiger, a greedy councilman who is funneling money to his construction company. However, he's got powerful political allies who won't let him take the fall. It's also an election year, but Steiger manages to get reelected and the cycle continues. Political corruption is as relevant as ever, but this is not exactly gripping film-making. Steiger's performance is muted by a dubbed voice in Italian.
