It soon turns out that Manni, the new tenant of the building, was the husband of the dead woman. The couple had been separated for some time, but the woman kept asking him for money. The man tries to exonerate himself, but the alleged alibi cannot be revealed, in fact Manni has for some time now formed a bond with Silvia who has never had the courage to speak with her father. Cornered, the girl confesses and runs away with the man but she is tracked down thanks to the help of Giorgio, another tenant. During a tough confrontation, the police arrive who had been alerted by an anonymous phone call. Thanks to this phone call from a night club, the commissioner will be able to discover the identity of the murderer and withdraw the resignation he had submitted due to the delicate situation in which he found himself.[1]
