Plot

In Pietrammare, a Sicilian town, a new mayor is to be elected. The candidates are the former mayor, a mafia puppet hated by the community, and a mild professor, who wants to finally bring honesty to the country. The latter candidate wins the election, and, with the help of his relatives Salvatore and Valentino, begins to implement his program of legality. However this program to "civilize" the citizens only exasperates them, with fines being charged for various infractions, and taxes being increased. Eventually, this includes Salvo and Valentino, who see their bars being closed because they are abusive. So the two organize a plan to defame the mayor, in order to start up a parliamentary inquiry, forcing the mayor to resign.

Reception
