Lando Buzzanca is the assistant cashier at a bank. He's a hundred dollars short, which means he may wind up in San Quentin for forty years. Where can he get the money before Monday? He tries his wife's cousin, Raimondo Vianello, who devises a scheme whereby Buzzanca commits some crimes, gets a price on his head, Vianello captures him, they split the reward, and Buzzanca gets hanged.
Nothing could be simpler or more amusingly inept than these two morons in this visual burlesque of Sergio Leone's Man With No Name trilogy. Buzzanca wears an outfit like Clint Eastwood, Vianello dresses like Lee van Cleef, and the two chatter their cowardly, greedy way through the movie. Treating the characters of the spaghetti westerns like those in Commedia dell'arte is a nice conceit, and it works pretty well.

Anyone who is a big fan of the Leone/Eastwood film "For a Few Dollars More" will get a few (but only a few) chuckles out of this parody.
