Totò stars in this hilarious parody of gangster films, playing a modest man mistaken for a notorious mobster in postwar Sicily. Directed by Carlo Ludovico Bragaglia, the film blends farce and crime with Totò’s iconic comedic flair. A cult classic that captures the absurdity of power, identity, and reputation in a country rebuilding itself through laughter.

Two cousins pretend to be a bandit and a bounty hunter in order to make some easy money. Unfortunately, their plan goes sideways when they end up in a ruthless Mexican outlaw's gang and are completely unprepared to deal with it.
