Sugar, Honey and Pepper (Italian: Zucchero, miele e peperoncino) is a 1980 Italian comedy film directed by Sergio Martino.[1][2]

Plot

The film includes three episodes centered around the court hearing about misunderstandings and mishaps leading to a crime.

  • "Zucchero": Due to a mugshot exchange, the insurance agent Valerio Milanese is mistaken for Matteo Pugliese, a dangerous murderer. A sexy journalist wanting a scoop ends up worsening the position of the man, who is chased by the police.
  • "Miele": Giuseppe Mazzarelli, a graduate unable to find a job, disguises himself as a woman and gets hired as a maid. He ends up in a relationship with the unhappy and mistreated wife. He eventually gets her pregnant and the jealous, violent husband finds out Giuseppe's secret, injuring him down there as payback.

After the disappointing outcome of the hearing, Giuseppe decides to apply for another maid job.

  • "Peperoncino": Taxi driver Plinio Carlozzi is involved in a kidnapping by a Sicilian Mafia clan for the purpose of a forced marriage.
