son. So he begs his cronies do not spend a lira and immediately dispose of the equipment, burying it out of town. The son, seeing this strange burial by chance, asks his father what he is doing, but Cardone, also present, does not think better than to say they are burying Mustafa, Bonocore's poodle, killed by a car. Antonio is therefore forced to get rid of the dog, and not having the courage to kill him, leave him on the road, tied to a milestone (a "pietra emiliana" as pronounced by Toto in his frequent deformated language). But Mustafa freed itself and returned home during a visit of Michele's supervisor, when he notices it in embarrassment. Antonio, now feeling hunted, matures the idea, which he expresses to Lo Turco, to get arrested by Michele: a son who arrests his father - he says - not only will not be sacked, but also would be promoted and would become an example for all of his colleagues. Therefore, he decides to implement his plan by going in person to the police station to be arrested by his son, who thinks his father is just joking. But, after hearing by Michele's supervisor that the investigation followed by Michele resulted in the arrest of professional counterfeiters ("Lo Turco? [The Turk?]" "No, the Swiss"). And when the supervisor says the note identified by the police was not one of those produced by the three, but the sample used - a false note supplied by a money lender, Bonocore is about to faint. At the end it turns out that none of his members had had the courage to spend the counterfeit notes (Lo Turco had borrowed money from a lender, Cardone had used the money that his "mommy" kept under the mattress). The three, now at peace with themselves, decide to destroy all counterfeit notes and the suitcase with the clichés, setting up a bonfire: as a final gag, Bonocore realises (too late) that he threw into the flames, in the hurry, even the envelope containing his salary.
