A group of factory workers living in 19th-Century Turin are fed up with their working conditions. For years, they've been forced to work 14-hour days for minimal pay, and they're tired of it. At long last, they've decided to strike and demand that one hour be removed from their work day. Alas, after their first attempt at a strike fails miserably, they begin to wonder whether they should even bother. Ah, but their energy is rekindled by newcomer Professor Sinigaglia (Marcello Mastroianni, La Dolce Vita), who is filled with ambitious ideas about ways in which the workers can carry out a successful strike. Will their efforts succeed?
