A murder at a drag bar (The Roman Blue) finds Nadia murdered because he/she knows too much. Nico Giraldi (Tomas Milian) is assigned to the case and just at the right time because his wife has been nagging him. He tells her that he off to New York on business but remains in Rome and goes undercover and he begins to solve the case. If you have seen “Cruising”, you will notice the similarities with the exception that this movie is not meant to be taken seriously. The plot is silly and just seems to be a vehicle for some really bad humor but I mean that in a positive way—the movie is so bad that it is good.

Nico was chosen for the job because his boss thinks that he is so good looking that other men will be attracted to him. He gets right into character and sets up an apartment with a friend and picks up a drag queen at a bar. Then the murder plot seems abandoned as we concentrate on Nico’s daily routines and it does not come back into the plot until later and then just briefly. Milian really goes to town with his role and hams it up all the way through. This is a low budget film and we are constantly aware of that and as silly as it is, it becomes even sillier at the end.
