review
Synopsis
Two young men talk in a cafe on a street corner in Rome: Philip, the son of a millionaire, and Tom, a poor young man whose father asks him to take him back to America. Although Tom receives a reward from Philip's father, Philip shows no signs of returning. One day, they go offshore on a yacht with Philip's girlfriend Marge, but as Tom is treated viciously by Philip, a small murderous intent grows in his heart, and he comes up with the perfect crime to steal his property.
