The appearance of a child's corpse puts an end to these aspirations. The police arrest a small time crook who has committed a robbery but has nothing to do with the murder of the child. His 'fence' the jeweler BALETTA, who is also a member of the ruling political party, suggests a deal: the crook goes free and in return Barlett will spill the beans on a planned robbery of the treasury in the Vatican. The police agree to the deal, and soon after one of Barlett's contacts is found dead. The police send officer Guglielmo Motta, who is not known in Rome, under cover as a wealthy 'fence' ( dealer in stolen goods). He slips into the criminal milieu thanks to the helpful charms of the lovely Lulu- they fall in love. Guglielmo gets scared when the body of Barlett shows up, and Lulu treats him with a new coldness. He wants out. The police chief dismisses this request. To top all of this Guglielmo's wife is jealous, and his mother in law seriously ill. Lulu hasn't missed the fact that Guglielmo has gone on ' home leave' and disappointed, she is prepared to work with a mafioso who knows the 'real' Guglielmo. Back from holiday Guglielmo ends up making contact with the Vatican robbers through a criminal intermediary. He is supposed to fence the goods. After the Vatican robbery has gone off with out any hitches, he waits at the agreed location for the hand over. Thanks to a letter written by Lulu, who regrets her double dealing and has out of desperation committed suicide, Guglielmo knows about the mafia gangster. And indeed, he is able to arrest all of the robbers, and retrieve the goods. An unsung hero, Guglielmo returns to his quiet life at the side of his wife Maria.
- DirectorPaul ShapiroStarsAnnalise BassoChris McNallyJulie BenzHigh-school girl Heaven is the eldest of Luke and Sarah's five children who live in the backwoods outside the small town of Winnerrow, West Virginia. She is the driven, academically-gifted one and soon learns why the community shuns their family, and then why Luke shuns her: Sarah is not her biological mother; a wealthy young girl, Leigh VanVoreen, ran away from home to marry Luke, then died in childbirth leaving baby Heaven, who greatly resembled her. Luke blames Heaven for his "Angel's" death. Beyond shunning her, Luke is largely an absent father and husband, often away looking for work, and most of what little he earns goes toward booze for himself. Heaven's siblings--teens Tom and Fanny and grade-schoolers Keith and Janey--are her life, and a new bright spot is new classmate Logan, newly-arrived from the big city; attracted to Heaven, he treats her with kindness and respect. Too soon tragedy overshadows the bright spot, Sarah walks out on the family, and Luke sells off his children. He sends her to live with his ex Kitty and her younger husband Cal, a writer she supports financially as he is unpublished. While she tries in vain to reunite her family, she learns the Casteels' other secrets. As she approaches womanhood, she will also discover that she is more her mother's daughter than just in looks.
