Tired of watching her "class" being persecuted, Melato wreaks vengeance by abducting the head kidnapper, Sicilian bandit Michele Placido. She forces the gang to pony up $100,000, but the crooks manage to have the last laugh. On the other hand, Melato does enjoy an enforced tryst with the handsome, helpless Placido.
