Antonio is jealous of his wife Clara and follows her everywhere; one day he sees her walking with a man on the street. He immediately becomes convinced that they went together to the movies (instead they went separate ways). Blinded by jealousy, Antonio wants to enter in the cinema hall and make a killing; but the director of the cinema stops him, and goes into the cinema room saying: "Outside a husband is waiting for his unfaithful wife to come out and kill her. Please, those of you who do not have a clear conscience, go to the emergency exit." In a moment almost all the spectators disappear.

The young Libyan Neschma was forced by her father to marry a man from whom, immediately after the wedding, she runs away. She manages to obtain the annulment of the marriage, but thus becomes a "lost of Allah", marginalized and despised by the community. When she meets the Italian Ugo, love is born between the two. The young woman gives birth to a baby girl, but her father, who has not forgiven her rebellion, kills the little girl. This drama distances Ugo and Neschma: he will marry an Italian woman, she will continue to be an outcast.

During the latter years of the reign of the tyrannical Roman emperor Nero, Marcus Vinicius, one of Nero's officers, falls in love with a young Christian named Lygia, attempting to enslave her. Lygia's protector, the noble and burly Ursus, works to save her from Vinicius' clutches. Pursuing Lygia, Vinicius finds himself at a catacomb prayer meeting led by the apostle Peter and finds his conscience stirring-- just as Nero orders Rome burned.
