The hilarious account of an irrepressible village priest's journey to Moscow-disguised as a Communist!
Those friendly enemies, Don Camillo and Peppone the Communist mayor of the village, are at it again.

But Peppone continues to bombard the villagers with anticlerical statements that leave Don Camillo smoldering with unpriestly rage. Then Peppone prepares to take a group of the party "elect" on a junket to the Worker's Paradise. Don Camillo insists on going along. Peppone has no choice, and "Comrade" Camillo, in disguise, joins the group, carrying a prayer book bound in a cover stamped Maxims of Lenin. And then the fun begins.
