An ordinary working day of the Italian magistrate Salomone Lorusso, who judges a full array of peculiar crimes and characters: Nando, caught naked on the street; Gloriana, a former showgirl charged with solicitation; a small-time thief who stole cats to fill his starving stomach; a married couple accusing each other of cheating begin to happen to Suzy as well: she falls mysteriously drowsy and ill and her friend Sarah also faces a horrific death. A bit of research indicates that the ballet school was once a witches’ coven, founded by Helena Markos, a witch with extraordinary powers.
