- Six episodes on the allies crossing Italy. In the first, a Sicilian girl befriends an American soldier. In the second, a Neapolitan rascal steals the shoes of a black American soldier who moves to pity for him. In the third, a Roman girl forced to prostitution encounters a US soldier she had met during Liberation Day. In the fourth an English nurse uselessly wanders around Florence looking for a partisan she has fallen in love with. In the fifth episode three American chaplains of different confessions are welcomed to stay at a newly liberated Roman Catholic monastery. In the sixth and final episode partisans and US paratroops are the victims of the ferocity of German Nazis.
