An amiable con man sets out to land a big score from a man even less honorable than himself in this comic
spaghetti western.
Joe Thanks (
Terence Hill) is a swindler and quick-draw artist who wanders into a dusty little town after literally falling out of a stagecoach while asleep. After besting card-sharp
Doc Foster (
Klaus Kinski) in a public shootout,
Joe reconnects with his old friend
Steam Engine Bill (
Robert Charlebois), who is traveling with his beautiful but dizzy-headed girlfriend
Lucy (
Miou-Miou).
Joe has learned that
Major Cabot (
Patrick McGoohan), an officer in the U.S. Cavalry, is escorting a $300,000 fortune that's been earmarked for Indian relief efforts; however,
Cabot has no intention of actually delivering the cash, so
Joe hatches a scheme to take it for himself.
Bill, who bears a slight resemblance to
Cabot, will pose as the officer and intercept the money, but when
Bill and
Lucy are found out and jailed,
Joe must come to their rescue. While his name does not appear in the credits,
Sergio Leone is said to have co-produced
Un Genio, Due Compari, Un Pollo (aka
A Genius, Two Partners, and a Dupe) and directed the pre-credit sequence, with
Damiano Damiani helming the rest of the picture and receiving screen credit. In Germany, the film was released as
Nobody ist der Grosste (aka
Nobody is the Greatest) and marketed as an unofficial sequel to
Il Mio Nome e Nessuno (aka
My Name Is Nobody).
