Content
Mosquito is an Italian fisherman and former professional American football player whose boat is damaged by a periscope of an American submarine. Until his boat repaired, mosquito is first of all unemployed and spends his time in Naples, where he waits for a new Thomson - injector. This nozzle can be obtained only through a local military garrison of Americans. There he is but recognized by Sergeant Kempfer, the mosquito its withdrawal from the sport takes offense, and therefore refused to release the nozzle. In a pub, he meets some U.S. soldiers who are led by Sergeant Kempfer, and on indigenous small-time crook who find themselves with the soldiers frequently in dispute and fighting in which at some point mosquito is significantly involved.
As the soldiers can no longer beat with them, otherwise they will be demoted, they demand the Italians out to a football game that does not have to win the Italians; it is enough if they score a point. The crooks ask mosquito, if he could not train them. This declines until, as he has vowed never to play again. He later explained to one of his Italian base after he has protected him from the bully and debt collector Orso. Mosquito decides but then to help them, and trained the Italians, but not without a few problems thus turning the world. Among other things he brings Orso for the team as they need a striker and indeed with the typical Bud Spencer method - with his fists. He also has almost rid the entire team just before the game from a gamer cave in which they were cheated. This inevitably leads to a full-blown brawl.
At the big game of the Americans, at the command of Sergeant Kempfer emphasizes hard and unfair play; so the Americans have, for example, instead of the permitted 13 whole 30 players, which is 17 players too much on the court, all Italian players threaten to fail prematurely due to injury. Mosquito therefore decide to take, but to intervene even himself, and wins for his team the minimum goal of point win by a touchdown, in which he knocks down the gate, along with the fellow substitute Sergeant Kempfer, and the football for a touchdown beats so strong on the ground that these bursts. Kempfer wants revenge by a blow with a baton mosquito, but accidentally hits his highest-ranking manager who is already not good to talk to him. The rest - except for a longer celebration of the Italians - can only be guessed.
