What happens

The Sheriff and the Satellite Kid (Italian: Uno sceriffo extraterrestre... poco extra e molto terrestre, lit. 'An Extraterrestrial Sheriff... Little Extra and Very Terrestrial') is a 1979 Italian children's comedy film starring Bud Spencer and child actor Cary Guffey. It was followed by a sequel in 1980, Everything Happens to Me. The film's theme song "Sheriff", written and performed, like the rest of the soundtrack, by Guido & Maurizio De Angelis (then known as Oliver Onions), was a local airplay hit in the same year.
