Plot

The film is set in 1800, in Rome. Two thieves are imprisoned and condemned to death. To pass the time, the two tell ribald stories: in the first a duke and a man named Nicolino discover that their wives have betrayed them with the boys and with a priest; in the second story two farmers are fighting a clappers asimile Rustican Cavalry by Giovanni Verga, because their wife has betrayed both. In the third story a priest lover of beautiful women kills one of his pilgrims, because he is in love with one of the girls of his menagerie; in the last story a jealous husband kills the lover of his wife. At the murder also participates another lover, more mature of the killed. God is very raged for the crime, and sues the four, performing only the last lover: the murdered, because he's pure and innocent.
