Synopsis

It's 1963 and Joey and Carmine are low-level soldiers in the New York mob.

Joey services jukeboxes and vending machines; Carmine makes two runs a week to South Carolina for illegal cigarettes.

But things are looking up for the pair.

The 1964 World's Fair is just around the corner and these Two gentlemen of Carona are plotting to help their boss, John, swindle thousands of foreign tourists.

It looks like nothing can stand in their way ... oh, except for the fact that Joey is falling in love with his boss's mistress!

— Los Angeles Times

"A comedy with hysterical lines, historical intrigue, and a happy ending for the young lovers."
