A drifting vagrant falls into a passionate and destructive affair with a trapped innkeeper's wife in Italy's Po Valley. Together they murder her husband, staging it as a road accident, only to find that guilt and suspicion corrode everything between them. Visconti's unauthorized adaptation of James M. Cain's novel is widely regarded as the first shot fired in the Italian neorealist revolution.
