A group of partisans seek refuge in a cloistered convent. The sisters reluctantly aid the ailing men, but not without terrible consequences.

After a couple of projects had either been postponed or fallen through for Blasetti, it was suggested that he should make a film about the navy in peacetime. The result is this strange film, which at the outset plays like a propaganda piece for the might of the Italian navy, only to veer off into high melodrama, as it zeroes in on Commander Corrado Valeri (Gino Cervi), and his conflict between duty and the jealousy of his wife. There are comedic asides, a visit to a North African club, affording Blasetti to contribute the first scenes of nudity in Italian film, and there are moments of heroics, including a mission to rescue the doomed crew of a wrecked submarine. As if all of that was not more than enough, the film features a star-studded cast including Evi Maltagliati, Gianfranco Giachetti, Doris Duranti, Elisa Cegani (in her debut), and even a brief cameo by Blasetti himself.

À Paris, à la sortie d'une soirée à l'opéra, le vieux et compassé docteur Faust est abordé par un certain M. Léon, énigmatique et élégant individu qui, un peu plus tôt, était en train de dealer à des chanteurs de l'opéra. M. Léon lui offre une cigarette, et bien qu'il ne fume jamais, Faust l'accepte et, stupéfait, s'aperçoit qu'elle brûle sans se consumer. Comme sous l'emprise d'un charme, Faust suit l'étrange personnage au cabaret Pigall's où, encore une fois, il faillit à ses habitudes en consommant l'alcool que lui propose M. Léon.
