The improbable adventures of an improbable inspector of the Italian Police Force in the city of Bologna. While policemen in Italian fiction are usually stalwart servants of the law, inspector Coliandro saves the day mostly by a combination of luck and intuition. He is ignorant, crude, and despised by all his colleagues except this partner, who is the only one who view him the way he views himself: as a hero worthy of the good guys in American cop movies.
