Des Teufels Advokat (1977)
Ende der 50er Jahre erhält der todkranke Priester Meredith einen letzten Auftrag vom Vatikan: In einem kalabrischen Bergdorf soll er den Heiligenkult um Nerone klären. Der englische Deserteur kam im Zweiten Weltkreig in das Dorf und hat dort angeblich Wunder vollbracht. Die Aufgabe stellt den Glauben Merediths auf den Prüfstand.
