Father Campana tasks "Fathers" Orso and Zach to sell village-made potteries into the city to cash in with local businessman Don Medina, sending Father Raphael to watch over them. The two convicts-turned-priests take advantage of the situation, and plan their escape at the expense of Don Medina. Between a failed robbery and a confrontation with rebel leader Napoleon, Orso and Zaccaria expose Medina’s dirty affairs, retrieve the money, but ultimately fail to take off.
