Asso (Ace), the best poker-player in town, was killed in his wedding night, because he won too much against a bad loser. In the "final" game in heaven the clerk on duty also lost, so Asso can come back to this world as a ghost to search for a good man for his wife (widow). Who is good enough for the wife of Asso ?

Celentano's physical comedy as a frustrated ghost.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Castellano & Pipolo were Italy's comedy machine, cranking out hit after hit in the 70s-80s. This captures their peak formula: Celentano + Fenech + barely coherent plot.
Edwige Fenech was queen of Italian sex comedies; this was her 6th film with Celentano. Their chaotic chemistry carried at least three decades of box office.
