Plot

After the British agent James Bond is killed, the cruel entrepreneur Goldginger plans to conquer the world using surrogate robots to be included in the various embassies policies in the world. In Sicily, two photographers, bungling Franco and Ciccio, who discovered Goldginger's plan, are captured by him because they possess secret information picked up by James Bond before he died. Immediately, the comedy and the rift with the world of 007 become apparent to the viewer. In fact, while James Bond had his licence to kill, when the two Sicilian friends are captured, Ciccio presents himself: "Pleasure: I'm Ciccio Pecora. Primary school!" (''Piacere: sono Ciccio Pecora. Licenza elementare!''). Goldginger, as in the famous scene from the original film, tries to divide Franco and Ciccio into two with the laser beam, but the two try to dissuade him from his idea. In fact, for example, they say that dividing the two of them becomes four pieces and then for the burial Goldginger will have to spend a lot more money for the flowers and coffins. Ciccio had to leave to Goldginger the secret of James Bond, is released together with Franco and so, after a while, the two friends manage to escape with the help of Marlene. Disguised as African shamans and after gaining experience in the army, Franco and Ciccio are ready to face new Goldginger in his secret lair: a factory of ginger soda soft drinks.
