Carambola! (Italian: Carambola, also known as Strange Adventures of Coby and Ben)[1] is a 1974 Italian comedic Spaghetti Western film co-written and directed by Ferdinando Baldi. It was the first film starring the duo Michael Coby and Paul L. Smith, a couple formed by producer Manolo Bolognini with the purpose of ripping off the successful films of the duo Bud Spencer-Terence Hill.[2][1][3] It was followed by Carambola's Philosophy: In the Right Pocket.[1]
A former soldier and champion of pool and his gigantic and irascible friend accepted, for $50.000, to investigate arms trafficking that would take place between the US and Mexico. The two devise a trick.
