Embattled priest Don Camillo faces his biggest challenge yet: modernity. First, his ecclesiastical superiors send him a hip young curate (Don Chichí) with a mandate to bring Vatican II to his rural parish.

Meanwhile, Don Camillo's old adversary, communist Mayor Peppone, must deal with his own grown son, a rebel in search of a cause.
