Francesca (played by Doris Dowling) is the mistress of the thief Walter (played by Vittorio Gassman). Walter is selfish, greedy and cruel, often mistreating Francesca, which makes her suffer greatly. In the end, Francesca decided to run away from him and head to the Stream River to find her own way out. In the Stream River, Francesca met her colleague Silvana (played by Silvana Mangano), who had a handsome appearance and an arrogant personality. She secretly regarded Francesca as her rival. Walter followed Francesca's trail and also arrived at the Stream River. He was attracted by Sylvaner's beauty and launched a passionate attack on her. It turned out that Walter wanted to take advantage of Sylvaner's position to steal food from the camp. Although Francesca had reminded Sylvaner in every possible way, the latter did not believe her.[Collapse]
