In one of the most central squares of Rome, Piazza Barberini, the famous TV star Aldo Ruggeri is killed in broad daylight. The commissioner, accompanied by agent Ginevra Scapuzzo, arrives on the spot to start the investigation. After various vicissitudes the commissioner, thanks to a tango listened to on the radio, will be able to connect the facts by discovering the killers. Going to Milonga, that is the place where the tango is danced, he will find the two killers, a man and a woman. When the music ends, in a firefight, the commissioner kills the man while the girl manages to escape.
