- Lazy recent graduate Charlie's (Bobby Kennedy) rich parents cut him off with a $5000 check and an ultimatum to start a life of independence and responsibility. Instead, he buys a plane ticket to Italy, gets robbed upon arrival, and winds up in Bologna in the care of his new friend Lele (Lele Gabellone), the self-proclaimed King of Bologna, who lives with scraggly punkabbestia Ballo (Gianlucca Bazzoli), and insatiable prostitute frequenter Il Pisa (Giuseppe Sanfelice). In Bologna, Lele teaches Charlie the subtle strategies that the King knows so well: hitting on Italian women, throwing all-night parties, and inciting general anarchy. Charlie takes to it like a pro and in the process meets the dangerously beautiful Valentina (Alessandra Mastronardi) and all-American Jessica (Eva Amurri). It might have been a simple story of cultural exchange had Charlie not accidentally pissed off two vicious Mafia bosses, Don Ferracane (Giancarlo Giannini) and Don Farina (Ernesto Mahieux), in his wanderings. What chance does a timid American kid who doesn't speak Italian and hangs out with sloppy Italian party hounds have against the dark forces of organized crime in Italy?

- Welcome to Butcher's Mill, Illinois, home to a meat-packing plant, a junk yard, and Buddy and Earl, two likable losers who crave the sweet smell of success. Earl is a simple man with a simple desire--to marry Pam, the only available girl in town. But she'll only give herself to a man who meets her strict criteria, including trailer-home ownership. And Earl's conniving boss at the meat-packing plant will do anything to win Pam's heart first. Buddy, on the other hand, wrongly fancies himself a master criminal, scheming big and failing big while avoiding both legitimate employment and his heartless parole officer. When Buddy hatches a brainless scheme to kidnap a corrupt U.S. Congressman for ransom, Earl sees it as his only hope to put a down payment on a trailer. But their prime score turns into a raw deal when the Congressman ends up dead, and his body in the meat-packing plant--accidentally chopped up, turned into bologna, and sent out to market. Unless they can round up all the bad meat and somehow get the Congressman's body back to the family for a proper funeral, Buddy could lose his freedom, Earl could lose the girl of his dreams, and they could both become mincemeat themselves.
