An engineer struggles with his rival to receive the order to carry out an important construction in the Valle d'Aosta. Both opponents embark on a competitive alpine challenge, with the intention of being able to eliminate the opponent at the minimum opportunity. After an unfortunate accident, one of the two disappears. Although shot in 1943, the film was not released in Italy until February 1945.
