Police commissioner Santamaria is investigating the murder of Mr. Garrone. The murder victim is a lewd, leering, seedy old architect who makes obscene gestures at women, like a character out of Fellini's "Satyricon." His body is found bludgeoned to death by means of a large ceramic phallus. The inspector on the case is a bemused but persistent Marcello Mastroianni. His investigations bring him in contact with some of Turin's high society: Jacqueline Bisset, the bored wife of an industrialist, and her platonic friend Jean-Louis Trintignant, a wealthy homosexual. The Policeman strikes up a romantic interest with Garrone's widow and also begins to unravel a world of corruption and deceit where nothing and no one is quite what they seem. Then there is a second murder...
