"The fragment we have of Nina la poliziotta is from the mid-section of the film. Rotten luck, some might say. The female protagonist takes it on herself to investigate and unmask her boyfriend’s killer, convinced she knows who did it. But what if she’s wrong?" - Andrea Meneghelli

79 AD. In the city of Pompeii the young Glaucus loves beautiful Jone, although he's courted by Giulia and secretly loved by his blind slave Nidia. One day Glaucus is wrongly accused of murder by a priest of Isis, Arbace, who wants to marry Jone and please Giulia. Glauco is condemned to be devoured by lions in the arena of the city, on that very day the erupting Vesuvius.
