- A wealthy woman becomes obsessed with humanitarianism when her young son dies after committing suicide.
- Irene Girard is an ambassador's wife and used to living in luxury. After the dramatic death of her son, she feels guilty of having neglected him and feels compelled to help people in need who cross her path. One day she offers shelter to a man who is evading justice, and she ends being arrested herself. Her husband, for the sake of social propriety, arranges for a doctor to declare her insane. Irene escapes one prison to enter another, and to reflect on what sort of society she lives in.—Artemis-9
- A series of tragic events force Irene, the wealthy wife of industrialist George Girard, to renounce her former worldly self and enter the world of the perpetually impecunious. Without a second thought, Irene begins to mingle with unmarried mothers who struggle to eke out an existence, ailing streetwalkers, and exploited employees, determined to find a purpose and meaning in life. It is in the squalid slums of eternal Rome where Irene begins to realise that her previous life was an illusion because she never truly cared about other people's feelings. Now, overwhelmed with guilt, Irene ponders on the importance of trust and self-sacrifice. However, is post-World War II Italy prepared for the blonde Good Samaritan?—Nick Riganas
