'Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall.'

Vienna is going to the dogs- a moral vacuum infested with promiscuity and depravity which the Duke Vincentio can't do anything about. So he appoints Angelo, a severe cold-blooded man, as his deputy to clean the place up. Whorehouses are closed, lowlifes are arrested and men who have impregnated their girlfriends are sentenced to death. But when an attractive young nun comes to Angelo to plead for the life of her brother, the steely deputy is rocked to his foundations and moral depravity gives way to political corruption.
