Even Clarissa, his sweetheart, has lost faith and it is only her love for him which makes her try to be patient with him.

Lupo gets into big trouble when Don Antero and his son, Marco, with the aid of imported thugs, break into the church and strip it of its treasures. The heinous crime is blamed on Lupo, and Dario, Lupe's own brother who is a dedicated policeman, is assigned to head the posse to track him down.

Clarissa, however, is convinced of Lupe's innocence because on the night of the robbery, she had spent the night with him. Unfortunately, she cannot speak out in Lupo's defense without exposing herself to moral condemnation.

Alone, hunted by his own brother, Lupo seeks to redeem himself by uncovering the real culprits. He is able to kill Don Antero in a struggle, but this only serves to aggravate things. He captures Max, one of Marco's henchmen, but is cornered by the posse atop the church's bell tower.
