In the anti-theft team, Giraldi Marshal deals with criminals who commit thefts in apartments or steal cars. Among these is a band to which it belongs Blinds, a little thief inclined to confess things, Zagaja, a stutterer thief, and the Sicilians Rosario and Salvatore Trapani. Performed the theft in the villa of an American (former CIA), the thieves come into possession of documents about a system of bribes concerning some important personalities in the United States, the Deal Zebra Point.

Having become in contact with emissaries of the US Ralf Douglas Blinds requires a sum of money for the return of the booklet: is killed. The murder of Zagaja puts Giraldi Marshal in alarm, which senses that Douglas had been robbed of something important: to ascertain what are stalked the Trapanese brothers who have since been in touch with the Douglas emissaries.
