What it’s about. Un joven capellán del ejército norteamericano, John Flaherty (Christopher Reeve), toma parte en el desembarco aliado en Italia durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Pasa del terreno de batalla al ambiente del Vaticano, donde su personalidad no tarda en destacar, y donde recibe la difícil misión de conseguir fondos para rehacer las reservas económicas, muy maltrechas debido a la guerra. Combinando los imperativos morales de su fe con el futuro económico del Vaticano y ganándose la confianza del cardenal Santoni (Fernando Rey), el padre Flaherty se mezcla con el mercado negro italiano y establece contacto con su amigo Lodo Varese (Joseph Cortese), el cual le pone en relación con la Mafia, concretamente con el capo Don Appolini (Jason Miller).
