Storyline

---

Twelve inmates escape from the Rome penitentiary: among them are the murderer Alberto Lettieri and his gang which also forces Giacomo Masoni, a former railway manager, to flee. The task of rescuing them falls to Commissioner Murri, loved by his colleagues, but opposed by the judiciary for his methods too violent. Murri discovers, by questioning Masoni's young niece, Laura, a trail capable of leading him to Lettieri: in all likelihood, the bandit will use Giacomo to seize a load of banknotes destined for pulping, worth a few tens of billions, which a train will take from Milan to Rome. After killing some of Lettieri's men in a firefight, Murri is summoned by the commissioner to be suspended from duty but Murri will be able to get two more days to act which will be enough to foil the blow and defeat the criminal gang.

Ticket collector on the bus in this movie is the same actor playing a component of the Rico gang in Uomini si nasce poliziotti si muore (1976)

[Johan Melle]

I think that the Man receiving an injection from Diotallevi is the so-called "The Indifferent Man".

Cemetery guardian is the so-called "Old Gangster".

Transvestite is Leda Simonetti.

People in the restaurant # 1: The man we see drinking and whose face is only partially visible should probably be Antonio Calò.

Passer-by who witnesses the bank robbery # 2: The uniformed man seen in a bit of a blur should be the so-called "Wrinkle-Faced Man", I think.

I've never seen him without a beard but do you think he could be Sergio Scarchilli? Here in La belva, Lo sceriffo di Rockspring and Il magnifico west

Many thanks, Johan, for all your identifications. I'll re-check again the restaurant scene to see if Antonio Calò is more visible.

Thank you very much, Carl You are right: It really looks a lot like Scarchilli. In the westerns he had more hair but it could be normal being shot 8/10 years earlier
