Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka
At a pace faster than a speeding bullet or flying cream pie, this farce is about two men -- hunk Walter (Ole Stephensen) of the dim bulb, and slapstick shoe repairman Carlo (Jarl Friis-Mikkelsen). Straight out of Danish television, the two characters are already stereotyped as they set off through exotic Spain on a package tour. Instead of the usual treks through museums, historic sites, and restaurants, there are encounters with diamond smugglers, thugs, and the requisite pretty women. Between Carlo's jabber and Walter's befuddled views, the duo are hard-pressed to woo and win.
