Plot Outline: During WWII in Italy, a wine producing village hide a million bottles from the Germans
Plot: Bombolini is a fairly worthless drunk in the small Italian town of Santa Vittoria in the closing days of World War II. When word comes that the Fascist government has surrendered, he climbs a water tower to tear down the flag. He cant get down and someone gets the crowd to chant his name to give him confidence. The Fascist town council hears this and believes that he is the towns new leader. They surrender to him and make him the new mayor. He rises to the occasion and when he finds that the Germans plan to occupy his town and take their wine (over a million bottles) he works out a plan to hide it.

Trivia: There are 10 entries in the trivia list - like these:
- Most of the footage was filmed during the late fall of 1981 into early 1982. It took the producers almost a year to get it released.
- Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, the Cold Crush Brothers, and the Treacherous Three performed at the amphitheater in the last scenes. Because the producers were not able to compensate the groups for their appearances, their scenes were cut from the final film and are not included in the special DVD release, but they were restored for the 2007 DVD reissue on Rhino/Atlantic Records.
- Recent DVD/Video release replaces original tracks that Grandmaster Flash is cutting up in his kitchen ("God Made Me Funky" and "Take Me to the Mardi Gras") with generic Chris Stein-composed soundtrack music. This was because the original artists whose records Flash was using wanted $8,000 each for the rights to include the tracks in the re-release, but they were restored for the 2007 DVD release on Rhino/Atlantic Records.
