Banana Joe, a brawny yet friendly man who lives in a small rainforest village called Amantido with a huge number of his own children and regularly delivers bananas to a South American river port. 

One day, the henchmen of a local gangster boss named Torsillo come ashore in Amantido to initiate the construction of a banana processing plant. 

Of course, Joe evicts the goons, who promptly return to their boss. 

Torsillo finds out that Joe is trading bananas without a license and decides to exploit it.

 Upon his next delivery, Joe is apprehended by the police and given the choice of either acquiring a legal license or getting his boat impounded and himself arrested for illegal shipment.

Before in other reviews I've said I'm never happy seeing Hill & Spencer go solo as part of the magic is missing. 

Well this movie Bud finds it in a comedy romp of a guy who just wants to do his job. 

It reminds me of my job and red tape we all go through just to get a little further up the road. 

It of course has the great slap stick fight scenes Bud is well known for the big one at the end was as always funny and well timed. 

Out of all Bud's solo work away from Terence Hill I would say this is the best one.
