Synopsis:

Johnny Firpo, played as always with supreme agility by Terence Hill, is appointed by the Navy Chief to conduct a crackdown on a gambling mafia, which is threatening the growth of Navy sports. He goes undercover and teams up with Charlie Firpo, played by Bud Spencer, a gambler turned truck driver, since the latter knows the ropes better. What ensues is a rollicking set of sequences, right from the moment a goon interrupts the big Firpo savoring a delicious bowl of beans and onions and gets his skull broken by the same pan. It is a complete package with boisterous fist fights, effortless glances, groovy music, goofy villains, game sequences, and some gorgeous locale in the tropical side. Odds and Evens is full of tiny little surprises like a truck driver who raises a dolphin in the trailer and flirts with a nun, and a man of herculean stature working as a soft ice-cream vendor getting mixed up on the menu, and an innocent cafe owner who saves his orange-squeezer during a brawl, and a poker-faced goon who loses a tooth on every punch on his face. And all such tiny things will blow your worries to smithereens.

In this Italian police drama, specially trained officers head for Miami to bring a nefarious international crime ring to justice.

The most unlikely pair ever to take on the mob.
