Life in Naples is tough, so Neapolitans invent ways to get by. Whatever works, conning mostly, tricking the IRS, the university, the landlord, cruise ship passengers, even conning victims three times with the same ruse.

On a hot summer night, Raffaele, the elderly manager of a Neapolitan counter-lot, is brutally strangled in his own accommodation.

Enrico is 30 years old, unemployed, and spends his life between public competitions and his friends at the bar. But one day, Silvana, his beautiful girlfriend, suddenly leaves him without explanation. His life falls apart, and Enrico even attempts suicide, albeit half-heartedly. Elvira, a sweet girl who has also recently suffered a heartbreak, mends his broken heart. Everything seems to be fine when Silvana returns forcefully to the forefront. Enrico has no choice but to divide his time between the two. Martha, a beautiful foreigner with children, will take him far away, dragging him to Uruguay. But Silvana will always be in his heart.

In this soft reboot of Tequila et Bonetti (1992), a tough Italian American cop arrives through an international police exchange program in Rome, Italy, where he is teamed up with his new partner, a sentient local police dog with a cool attitude.
