Three Mafia bosses send their sons—who have chosen paths other than crime—to Sicily for an unwanted education in Mafia life.

The story

In New York, after crime boss Frankie Ghost dies, three Italian-American Mafia bosses meet to discuss the future of the underworld. Their agreement seems short-lived: their sons have pursued lives outside crime. Tony Masseria is a dance teacher, Nick Di Maggio an up-and-coming singer, and Joe Cavallo is enrolled in the police academy. The fathers decide to “kidnap” their sons and send them to Sicily to Don Turi, or “Mister T,” to train in the Mafia way of life. The sons arrive reluctantly, under Salvo “The Swiss’s” supervision, and learn the rules and methods of becoming Mafiosi.

Full plot (contains spoilers)

In New York, following the death of crime boss Frankie Ghost, the other Italian-American Mafia bosses (Donato Cavallo, Vito Masseria, and Primo Di Maggio) meet to decide the future of New York’s underworld. Before long, they all realize that, despite their agreement, it will be short-lived, since their sons have all pursued paths other than crime: Tony Masseria is a dance teacher, Nick Di Maggio is an up-and-coming singer, while Joe Cavallo is even enrolled in the police academy. The three bosses decide to “kidnap” their respective sons and send them to Sicily to “Mister T” (Don Turi), so that he can train them in the Mafia way of life. Reluctantly arriving in Sicily under the supervision of Salvo “The Swiss,” the three learn, in hilarious fashion, all the rules and methods they need to become true Mafiosi. Alongside their training, the three also find a way to join forces, eventually getting their fathers and Don Turi arrested during Giuseppe’s wedding. After this incident and the resulting sentences handed down to the bosses, the three, together with Rosalia (Di Maggio Jr.’s wife), are forced to take refuge in an unidentified Arctic location to escape reprisals from the families.
