Synopsis
In 1896, Two missionaries (Bud Spencer and Terence Hill) come into conflict with the authorities when they turn their mission into a parrot farm. The Bishop of Maracaibo calls them his 'black sheep,' and the Monsignore has been called to check on their behavior. As usual, our heroes help the poor defend themselves while getting into some funny fistfights in the process.
