Determined to find out who murdered his brother and why, Luca immediately suspects a rival mobster named Scherino but Scherino insists that Mickey’s murder was actually ordered by a mysterious French drug lord known as Il Marsigliese (Marcel Bozzuffi, who also played a French drug smuggler in The French Connection). Luca, having ducked down in his seat, is not spotted by the assassins. The fake cops proceed to fire what seems to be over a hundred bullets into Mickey.

The police are too incompetent to stop them and their disco-loving boss, Perlante (Saverio Marconi), keeps them safe from any interference from the other mob bosses working in Naples.īut then, one night, two men disguised as policeman pull Luca and Mickey over while they’re driving down an isolated road. Luca’s got a big house with a beautiful wife (Ivana Monti) and a precocious son. It’s given both of them a pretty good life. They pilot boats up and down the coast of Italy, smuggling cigarettes and booze into Naples.

Luca Ajello (Fabio Testi) and his older brother, Mickey, have a pretty nice operation going.

The 1980 film, Contraband, tells a story of the Neapolitan underworld.
