We are in
Maremma. A
doctor who devotes himself to scientific research falls in love with Anna, the daughter of a
chemist, who does not approve of the relationship. He is thus courted by other women, among which Barbara proves to be the most enterprising: meanwhile Anna gets engaged and the young doctor begins to suffer. When a
malaria epidemic breaks out, the scientist is accused of not thinking about healing the locals to continue scientific experiments, undergoes a trial and ends up in
prison. ==Cast==
