Mi faccia causa
In the first episode, the praetor has the courage to convict a Corleonese mafia named Rosario Mancuso for negligent injury, as he ran over a citizen with his car. When he goes to the bar for a cognac he is approached by the accused and believes that he is threatening his family. He runs away to alert his wife but, when she arrives at the magistrate's court, the misunderstanding is clear: the mafioso wanted to thank him because the sentence was the alibi he needed in a serious mafia trial. The magistrate finds himself dazed with a yellow envelope in his hand containing the bribe given to him by the mafioso, he does not know what to do and asks the cleaning lady to keep it for him until the end of the hearings. The mafia then declared himself repentant, arguing that the only time he heard the word "Lupara", it was referring to an Italian village. In the second episode we witness the dispute between the rocker Artemio Chiccaccia with a band in tow and the Neapolitan musician Leonardo De Leonardis, who sings in the classroom a piece that appears to all to be a plagiarism of song. The praetor is the most involved in the music and starts singing and dancing. In the future, maestro De Leonardis will sue the Italian state because he claims that Mameli's hymn is actually one of his songs and is demanding reimbursement of the royalties. In the third episode, a tax office employee, Rosanna Bianchini, sued the journalist Luisa Pelliccione of the weekly the woman, for an article according to which she is a prostitute. The fact is true to the praetor, who applies the law and does not accept the complaint. At the end of the hearing, however, he falls in love with Rosanna and, to make her think again about the fact that luck will return to smile at her, he gets rid of the yellow envelope given to him by the mafia, giving it to her. With that money, Rosanna distributes bribes to competition directors, winning even four. In the fourth episode Luigi Marchetti known as Mani of gold, a thief who tried to clean up a villa. Reo confess, he tells how the plan had matured starting from the news he had in the bar. The oddities of the villa had become even more complicated when he had made friends with the little son of the owners of the villa: the latter had offered to open the safe for him as long as the criminal had played with him. However, the man wants to prove to him that he is able to break into the safe even without keys, but the enterprise turns out to be impossible. Dejected, he asks the child to give him the keys but, seeing that he is sleeping peacefully, he is seized by a crisis of repentance and starts to leave without stealing anything. As he is leaving, he is discovered by the maids who call the police. He was sentenced to three months without parole for trespassing. In prison, Marchetti will found the Professional Artist Thieves Union, obtaining a hefty pension. In the fifth episode Rebecchino De Profundis, a watchmaker with a reputation as a bad man, denounces a neighbor for calling him bad man. The complainant turns out to be a dangerous person, capable of disrupting the classroom with windstorms and blackouts whenever he is contradicted, despite himself claiming that he does not possess any malignant fluids. In a situation that seems almost an exorcism, the praetor accepts his request and condemns the accused to pay him 200,000 lire. De Profundis will ask for another compensation in the future because, after the building in which he lived collapsed, the administrator insinuated that it was his fault. In the sixth episode, a plastic surgeon, a great Inter fan, denounced two Roman fans, the electrician Oreste and the prince Valfredo Orselli of Querciarola, for obscene acts, insults and profanity, because the two, who were with him at the Olympic stadium, in prey to the euphoria of Roma's 2-1 advantage over Inter, they had peed on his shoulders. Eventually the football passions of those present will be unleashed in the courtroom, including that of praetor Pennisi, a Lazio fan. In the seventh episode, an effeminate man named Umberto Recchia denounces a gentleman because, following a trivial quarrel, he was called a fagot. The plaintiff, assisted by the testimony of an employee and a lawyer in great shape, obtains justice and receives a monetary compensation. In the eighth episode, Annibale Saraceni is a boxer fired by the manager, who has won only one punching challenge in his life: the one to save a little dog, knocking out three bad guys who were about to set the animal on fire. The quadruped, called Augustus by his previous owners, turns out to be a thief who helps Hannibal in petty thefts. Thanks to the dog, Annibale had met his girlfriend Zizì; however, the dog and the boxer had exaggerated by stealing a ring for Zizì. The praetor, seeing that the dog cannot speak, acquits the boxer who has placed the blame on Augusto and condemns the animal to the kennel. However, fearing that the animal is killed, Hannibal changes his version and accuses himself of leaving the dog in the girl's care. Hannibal will then be released from prison, supported by various animal and environmental associations, but above all thanks to the help of Augusto, who managed to become a friend of Marco Pannella. In the ninth episode the protagonist is De Sica himself. While he is in bed with his wife, dreaming of the arrival of the Martians bringing justice, a light dazzles him from the window. He thinks it is them, but it is only the neighbor who wants to make an illegal construction, since the praetor himself is illegally building a veranda on the terrace. In a crisis of repentance, Giovanni will report himself for illegal building of a room.
