Synopsis

Occhio, malocchio, prezzemolo e finocchio is a film divided into two episodes, The Hair of Disgrace and The Magician, both focusing on the theme of the occult and beliefs. The protagonists of the two episodes are respectively Lino Banfi and Johnny Dorelli.

In the first episode, Altomare Secca is the owner of an appliance store and has a series of problems, both family and work. He feels alone, given that his wife Giovanna has eyes only for soap operas and her daughter Mariella thinks only of her boyfriend Carluccio, whom Altomare hates deeply. Corinto Marchialla arrives one day. Altomare, who is very superstitious, undergoes a series of unfortunate events and comes to the conclusion that Marchialla is the source of all his misfortunes.

In the second episode, Gaspare Canestrari known as "Le Grand Gaspar" is a low-level illusionist who tries to become famous. His living conditions are not the best, so much so that he is forced to live at the house of his wife Iole and her brother Alberigo, who somehow manage to keep him. After having made a disastrous show, his agent, the knight Aldrovandi, definitively discharges him, inviting him to change jobs. One day, Gaspare meets the Marquise Del Querceto, an elderly witch of 318 years, who gives him her supernatural powers; in exchange Gaspare will have to bring her a pistachio ice cream cone before her death, otherwise her powers will vanish.
