SYNOPSIS: Politically incorrect Italian sex comedy with hot-blooded Lando Buzzanca hamming it up as a man looking for love …or at least some obedience! He meets the strong willed Catherine Spaak and quickly gets married to her. Almost immediately she starts to mold him by dressing him the way she likes, eating fancy foods, going to avant garde concerts, etc. He hates it all and calls her a "world class ball buster". He soon starts screwing a married blonde airhead he meets at his car dealership. She proves to be more trouble than she's worth. Then Buzzanca reads an article about men going to the Amazon and buying their own slave. He quickly books a flight and meets a one-handed ex-Nazi played by big Gordon Mitchell, in a rare comedic role. Mitchell brings him deep into the jungle to a simple tribe where he finds the topless Veronica Merin complete with afro wig and bone necklace. He brings her back to Italy and begins a My Fair Lady transformation wherein he teaches her simple tasks like not biting people and using soap! Eventually she cleans up pretty well. He takes her into public where his friends, and ex-wife, can see how she treats him like a king. She even pulls him through the city streets on a rickshaw! Way over-the-top humor from the Italians on this film. Filled with broad slapstick humor, manly men and naked women. It's actually very funny. The energetic soundtrack is by Piero Umiliani (Sweden - Heaven and Hell, Five Dolls for an August Moon) who rips off his own hit "Mah Na Mah Na" by making a few changes and added a nonsense-word singer who sounds like Popeye!
