Arturo, however, learns that Flora has already been promised by his uncle Alfredo to Carmelo, son of the mafia boss Don Tano, right-hand man of Lucky Luciano.
Meanwhile, in Sicily, the two rascals Saro Cupane and Mimmo Passalacqua, one blind and the other lame, on lookout on the rocks of the coast, observe the landing of the Americans and try to warn the inhabitants of the nearby town of Crisafulo of the danger.
Don Calò, the boss who has power over Crisafullo, assures Commander Vincent Maone that in a short time all the soldiers will surrender and that the country will welcome the American liberators with joy.
So it happens, and Commander Maone is therefore awaiting the release of the list of mafiosi given the precious collaboration given, and which must be delivered by a specially parachuted OSS agent: Lieutenant Philip Catelli.
Shooting sentence that appears incomprehensible even to Lieutenant Catelli, given that his boss Maone, now in possession of the list of mafiosi prepared by Lucky Luciano, frees murderers, extortionists and thieves.
Arturo has become a friend of Catelli whose loyalty and courage he admires in reporting to Maone that they are freeing delinquents, borrowing his officer's jacket from the lieutenant to make a good impression on Flora's parents.
The boss Calogero Vizzini is elected mayor of Villalba, while the future mafioso and politician of the Christian Democrats Vito Ciancimino starts working in the municipality of Palermo.
