John Flaherty is a young and ambitious American priest who arrives in the Papal sovereign city state of the Vatican in 1944 to take his holy orders as a Catholic priest. After distinguishing himself in combat in the World War II battlefields of northern Italy, hes assigned as the Vatican treasurer. With the Vatican strapped for money during the war, Flaherty soon makes illegal business deals with a corrupt U.S. Army sergeant named Varese, who deals goods on the local black market, which is connected to a ruthless Sicilian mobster named Don Appolini. Appolini agrees to fund Flahertys operation for profit through his Swiss bank connections. Flahertys mentor, Cardinal Santoni, the secretary to the elderly but powerful Pope, learns of Flahertys business deals, but covers for Flaherty in order for them to rise in the ranks of the church against Santonis rival, Cardinal Vinci. But Flahertys double life as a black marketeer and priest takes a turn when he falls in love with a young French nun, named Clara, who knows of his dealings, but not of his true identity in the Catholic Church.
