Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Frankie Fane (Jack Carson) is a particularly despicable gangster, who has accumulated a fortune selling illegal drugs to children. While hiding from the American authorities in Italy, Fane grows weary of visiting the same local sites day after day. Thus, he is receptive when another tourist, Ainslee Crowder (Christopher Dark), suggests that Frankie pay a visit to the out-of-the-way ruins in the Etruscan village of Alda Nouva. Unfortunately for Frankie, the village is populated by youngsters who prove to be every bit as larcenous -- and heartless -- as he is.
