Summary

[edit]

Johnny Tolengo (Calabró) is a tremendously successful and "glamorous" singer, idolized by children. Upon his return from the United States, where he achieved the remarkable feat of winning the Oscars, Grammy, and Tony awards in a single season, he finds himself targeted by the mafia's extortion plot, coercing him into signing with a dubious record company. This sets off a chain of unforeseen adventures for Tolengo.
