Plot[]

Eddy, a detective who works as a security guard in a department store, is engaged to Barbara, a clerk in the same store. After receiving some perfume as a gift from a mysterious admirer, Barbara is burnt to death when she walks under some warm halogen spotlights. In order to discover what killed Barbara, Eddy decides to investigate together with Inspector Turroni. Afterwards, a prostitute named Portia is murdered in a similar way and Eddy discovers the cause of their deaths... the perfume sent to each victim by the killer contains a highly flammable substance (benzopyrene-15). Eddy decides to find if there was a connection between the two victims and he discovers that each victim had in her possession a piece of a picture. The picture was taken years before, in 1971, when the victims were just young girls. They had spent that summer together with a girl named Mariri, and one other mysterious girl, at a holiday camp managed by Sister Melania. The criminal is apparently getting revenge for a terrible accident that happened that summer at the camp.
