Em Nápoles, uma voz dos céus anuncia numa manhã que o julgamento final será às 18:00 naquele dia. O que se segue é uma série de histórias retratando as reações de várias pessoas (ou falta dela) ao anúncio. Tem um elenco de estrelas italiana e internacional, incluindo os americanos Jack Palance, Ernest Borgnine; a grega Melina Mercouri e os franceses Fernandel, Anouk Aimée e Lino Ventura. O filme foi um fracasso enorme, massacrado por críticos e público quando foi lançado. Foi filmado em preto e branco, mas a última sequência, a dança no teatro, é colorida.
