Greedy Baron Antonio Peletti refuses to give to his town the heredity left by his father, a box full of precious jewels, which he keeps for himself. The major and the rest of the townspeople therefore organize a trick at his expense: they'll make him believe he is dead, and, in a fake "afterlife", they'll try to convince him to finally show them where the money is hidden to save his soul.

VIBE

A zany, old-school comedy where a greedy baron is tricked into believing he's in the afterlife. Expect physical gags and escalating absurdity as the townsfolk try to get their hands on hidden treasure. Pure, silly fun.
