By the late 1960's, people living in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada with a direct connection to Racalmuto, Sicily, outnumbered the total population of Racalmuto.

A Belligerent blind diabetic escapes from hospital in a last ditch effort to save his dog from euthanasia, while the medical attendant sent after him deals with the death of his own estranged father.
