Summary: From case cover: L'operaio siciliano Carmelo Mardocheo detto Mimì perde il posto di lavoro perché si rifiuta di votare un mafioso ed è costretto ad emigrare a Torino, lasciando la giovane moglie Rosalia. Qui si barcamena tra compagni comunisti e picciotti sicialiani e si fidanza con una proletaria milanese, Fiore, da cui ha anche un figlio. Tornato in Sicilia, si trova diviso tra l'amante e la moglie, e poiché quest'ultima l'ha tradito con un maresciallo dei carabinieri, si vendica seducendo la bruttissima moglie del rivale. Finito in galera per un delitto d'onore che non ha commesso, Mimì ne esce grazie agli amici mafiosi e a un'amnistia, ma ad attenderlo ci sono i figli di tutte le sue mogli e amanti. From IMDb: In Sicily, the mine worker Carmelo "Mimí" Mardocheo votes in the Communist Party candidate instead of in the Mafia's one believing that the suffrage is secret. After the elections, he loses his job and cannot find any other job in his village that is controlled by the mobster Don Calogero. He leaves his wife Rosalia with his family and travels to Turin expecting to find a job. He finds an illegal position in the civil construction that is also explored by the Mafia and when a coworker dies in an accident, he finds that the mobsters have dumped his body on the road. However, he does not report the crime to the police and lies to the mobster Salvatore Tricarico telling that he belongs to the family of a powerful mobster. Mimi gets a metallurgic position and joins the Communist Party. Then he fall in love with the virgin Trotskyite street vendor Fiorella Meneghini and they have a boy.
