content
Scelli Pezzato, daughter of the Heavy chief, Cefalonia, is promised Crazy Horse, but loves Arrapaho, son of the chief of the Black Mazza, who in turn is the object of desire of Luna Caprese of the Froceyenne tribe. Heavy Ball is meanwhile busy with influencing the rain gods and with his horse Alboreto, which shrinks a bit every day and worries about the birth rate of the village - it is zero.
Scelli and Arrapaho are kidnapped by Crazy Horse, but with the help of Latte Macchiato, a Froceyenner and Cornetto Single, an Arrapaho, they escape. Crazy Horse consoles itself with Luna Caprese.
The action is repeatedly interrupted by fictitious commercials and songs.
criticism
- Absolute trash film. The Squallor group tries to add all the jokes of their career to their stupid script. The pretty but untalented Tinì Cansino doesn't help either. (Dizionario del cinema italiano, I film 5, Gremese 2000, p. 47)
Remarks
The film was based on an LP by the Italian group Squallor , whose members also played the leading male roles. Numerous songs from the LP find their way into this film.
Produced at the lowest cost, the film became a huge box office hit in Italy, despite popular belief that it was "the dumbest Italian film ever made" .
