Two devil guys on their way to the monastery is a German-Italian adventure film from 1975 by Ernst Hofbauer .
action
Jim and Jeff are two adventurers who are always on the lookout for great luck and success and step from one faux pas to the next. When they believe they have found an oil well in Colombia, it turns out that they have only drilled an underground pipeline run by the oil-producing competition. And once again they have to flee from angry persecutors. Broke again, the two mates gladly accept the offer to help the junior boss of a Milanese spaghetti manufacturer, Giovanni Telli, whom they already know from Jungle Girls for Two Scoundrels , with the purchase of a golden Madonna that is currently still in a local monastery . Not only Jim and Jeff are waiting for the rich Italian at the airport, but also the nun Andrea. Immediately on the airfield, she slips Giovanni a considerable amount of money ($ 5,000) as a deposit. However, he misses his two friends Jim and Jeff because they have to pile up in front of the state authorities again because of previous offenses when they spot two police officers at the airport. On the run, the two friends swinging their fists constantly have to fight with some persecutor.
Meanwhile in the monastery. The Mother Superior has called her fellow sisters together and gives them the painful message that one has to part with the esteemed Madonna, the "golden Catarina". Because to build the planned children's hospital, you need a lot of money. In the meantime, a sailing yacht is approaching the Colombian coast. On board is the crook Banausis, who also has an eye on the Madonna. Yolanda also belongs to him, who had already tied the $ 5,000 on the airfield Giovanni in the disguise of the nun Andrea, because she too is a crook. With the girls on board Banausis' yacht, she goes to the remote monastery and fakes a plane crash that she has just survived, so that the young women are allowed in. The plan is to first steal the Golden Madonna in the monastery. The women lock up the real nuns and put on their robes, then gang boss Banausis arrives. But the three adventurers Jim, Jeff and Giovanni gradually reach the monastery as well. Using a diamond ring on "Sister Yolanda's" fingers and the painted toenails of "Mother Superior", Jim and Jeff quickly recognize that something must be wrong with the "nuns" in the monastery. There follows an endless beating orgy in the monastery garden between Jeff and Jim and the gang boss's henchmen. Then a bishop arrives.
In the meantime, Banausis has set himself apart with his fake nuns and the Golden Madonna. They all stayed at the Hotel des Señor Olivares, who knows exactly what precious cargo Banausis and his wives are carrying. He invites everyone to his hacienda, where during a fiesta one can wait for the plane that is supposed to take the gangsters out of the country with the Madonna. Jim and Jeff and Giovanni are also invited by the hotel owner to a party at his hacienda. While Banausis, Yolanda and their girls drive away with the Golden Catarina to the Olivera hacienda, Jeff and Jim have a fake of the Madonna made out of wood in no time because they are pursuing a plan. They want to swap the new Madonna for the old one on the farm and put Banausis into it. While Jeff distracts the guardian of the Madonna with a violent kiss attack, the tree-long, stronger Jim exchanges the Golden Catarina for the forgery that has just been completed. On the way down, however, Jim falls down the steep stairs with the Madonna and passes out. The rushing Giovanni believes that Jim just wanted to transport the fake upstairs and brings the real Madonna back to its old place. Jegg yells at him for that. Finally, however, the three buddies can dup Banausis at the airport, where he is waiting for his plane, and this time escape with the real Madonna.

The lexicon of the international film tore the strip and saw in it a "in every respect exhausted entertainment: the brawls seem increasingly monotonous, the comedy is only exhausted."
