Romeo's Blue Skies

Romeo is a boy who lives in a drought-afflicted village in the Swiss Alps, where Mr. Luini, known as the God of Death, looks to purchase him.

Romeo must raise money to treat his father, but he is rebuffed by the village. He then sells himself to Luini, the God of Death.

On the journey to Milan, Romeo is falsely accused of stealing apples, leading to a friendship with Alfredo and the street urchin Dante.

Learning of his plans to exploit them, Luini's captives attempt an escape, while a young reporter takes an interest in their journey.

After their boat capsizes, Romeo and Alfredo must decide whether to save Luini and what to do with him.

After Romeo and Alfredo are sold, Romeo immediately earns the displeasure of Rossi, his new master, and Edda, his wife.

Rossi instructs Romeo how to sweep chimneys and solicit work, and a sick girl named Angeletta brightens Romeo's mood.

Romeo finds a new ally in professor Casela, who encourages him to learn how to read. Romeo attempts to meet with Angeletta.

Romeo's encounter with Angeletta leaves him elated. In order to prove himself to the Wolf Pack gang, Anzelmo steals Angeletta's sketchbook.

Anzelmo runs afoul of the Wolf Pack when he turns out to be a weak link during a confrontation with a rival gang.

Anzelmo attempts to trap Romeo by luring him into a fight and planting stolen coins in his satchel. Meanwhile, Angeletta's condition deteriorates.

With the help of Dante and Romeo's pet weasel, Piccolo, Romeo attempts to escape both the police and the Wolf Pack gang.

Romeo gets in the way of some saboteurs' plans, while Rossi has a change of heart and realizes he has treated Romeo unfairly.

With Rossi treating him better, Romeo reunites with Alfredo, who has a plan to counter the Wolf Pack's antagonism toward non-local chimney sweeps.

Romeo is determined to learn how to read so he can help the band of chimney sweeps known as the Black Brothers in their fight against the Wolf Pack.

The war between the Black Brothers and the Wolf Pack escalates, while Nikita has second thoughts about the persecution of the chimney sweeps.

Romeo rallies the Black Brothers for a brawl against the Wolf Pack, but the fight is complicated by the gang's alliance with another group.

While the Wolf Pack licks its wounds after the rumble with the Black Brothers, Grandma Rossi visits, bringing with her a valuable gift.

Part of Angeletta's past is accidentally revealed. An elderly man who runs a puppet show has a secret.
