Sentenced to a 13-year prison term, Mastrovanni (Camillo Piloto) returns to his family upon his release. Having brought disgrace to his loved ones, poor Mastrovanni is shunned by one and all, and it does no good for him to protest that he was innocent of the crime for which he was blamed. Eventually, he is vindicated, providing a happy ending -- but the bitter taste of his exile remains. Despite heady competition from her elders, child actress Tonino Capitani steals every scene he's in. El Delito di Mastrovanni (The Crime of Mastrovanni) did well in Italy, but proved a bit too verbose for American consumption.
