An Italian immigrant to Australia, Nino (Joe Dolce) is the sort of man who has to try the twisty way first, before cheerfully doing the honest thing. After at first trying to cheat blustery Jack Phillips (Peter Adams) over an auto repair job Phillips is doing for him, the two become friends. When Jack's daughter runs off with a seriously not-good young man (a drug pusher), he comes to the aid of his new friend, and together they track down the girl and her ne'er do well boyfriend, and have a few laughs and a few adventures along the way. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
