James Coco is trying to get rid of a luxury ship he owns to get the insurance. But since his character is unable to pick up a phone like a normal person (a tiresome running gag) you just know his scheme is going to backfire in his face. Professional con man Charleston (Bud Spencer) and his trio of stupid English henchmen (amongst them are Catweazle himself and Toht from Raiders of the Lost Ark) are planning to double cross him. You see, not only is big burly Spencer a master criminal, he’s a master of disguise as well. If you can believe that you’ll swallow anything. First the four of them swipe a priceless Gaugin from the home of a police inspector, naturally portrayed by Herbert Lom. Chief Inspector Dreyfus plays Faye Dunnaway to Spencers’s Steve McQueen (he has to, as there are no interesting female parts in this picture) and after some talky scenes that break all the rules of perspective they more or less team up to get Coco and his boat (respectively). The ways they go about to do this are too far fetched to recount here. Most of the humour is so infantile that only a six year might chuckle at it and though I hate to admit it, James Coco’s shtick with various telephones actually draws the most laughs. The camera work takes a turn for the worse when people start having discussions while driving around in cars. Obviously the filmmakers never heard of a steady cam. Oh yeah there is one slightly amusing gag involving footsie Morse code, but thats about it…..
