I've been duped! Here's me going back through the lists of Italian films just in case I've missed a giallo or horror and I find a comment on the IMDb that says 'ignore the comedy tag for this film as this is a giallo' I don't think so! This is an Italian comedy through and through, with a very, very slight giallo tang.
From what I can gather from my dodgy understanding of Italian and the insane auto-generated subtitles on YouTube is this: Toto and his brother are master pickpockets (well, Toto is, his brother is a Stooges level moron), but after hitting an old woman over the head with a stick and stealing her pension (that's serious assault, right?) Toto and his brother somehow end up stealing a dead body in a suitcase.
This dead body gets mixed up with another suitcase owned by some hitchhikers who end up at a house where everyone is smoking the chronic and the owner of the house buries the body, then convinces Toto to kill his wife! Following this, Toto seems to go mental while high on the skunk and starts killing everyone....I guess that's the giallo bit as Toto melts someone with acid, beheads someone else, and usually walls them up somewhere in the villa...always with the villas.
This film is like Benny Hill on acid and smack and PCP and coke injected into his penis while snorting coke from the rectum of a hooker while he felches magic mushroom spunk and tries to think of modern drugs to take that are beyond his age range like M-Cat, McHurley Wax and Smorkcing Ernds. However, the YouTube auto-translate subtitles are brilliant, for example:
Potential song titles for an art-rock band: "Pork Instep!" "A species of Cards" "An unethical lozenge" "I am east of the fence in the land of the horses"
The incomprehensible: "Barbara Striesand is on the internet too much these days"
And my favourite:
"Someone who loves you has sent me to f*ck the Police School Logo"
This film was crap. I hate this stuff. Turns out smoking weed makes you kill folk or something.
