Synopsis
Gianni Agnelli, the head of Fiat, plans to replace 25,000 workers with robots when he has an automobile accident and is rescued by Antonio Berardi, a communist and one of the workers he has just sacked.
A case of mistaken identity ensues as the mangled Agnelli is reconstructed by plastic surgeons into a dead ringer for Antonio!
Hilarity piles upon hilarity as government agents, terrorists and wives try to figure out who is who.
