Che malinconia, le giornate ventose e fredde di fine settembre, a Genova. E se sei un poliziotto in pensione, la avverti ancora di più. Sono un po' tristi i tre amici della Squadra speciale Minestrina in brodo, Santoro, Mignogna e Pammattone, e, in preda alla noia, cercano pretesti per tornare a essere padroni del loro tempo. Forse un viaggio potrebbe essere la soluzione.

Per un tragico errore della Prefettura, i bonifici della meritata pensione di Ferruccio Pammattone, Eugenio Mignogna e Luc Santoro, alias Semolino, Kukident e Maalox, sono saltati, scaraventando i tre ex poliziotti in un mondo a loro sconosciuto, quello di chi si arrabatta per mettere insieme il pranzo con la cena. La temporanea indigenza, però, permette loro di guardare con occhio più comprensivo certi "stratagemmi" per tirare a campare, che nella "pancia" più povera di Genova pare siano all'ordine del giorno.

"Mi dispiace, ma io so' io, e voi non siete un cazzo!" La celebre battuta del Marchese del Grillo, entrata immediatamente nell'immaginario collettivo, non potrebbe essere più lontana dalla personalità di Alberto Sordi, un uomo affabile, che aveva una straordinaria voglia di scherzare, di spiazzare l'interlocutore, di trovare sempre il lato debole delle cose e delle persone.

Un'ondata di reati a carico dei più deboli, gli anziani, vittime di furti e di truffe. È questa la notizia del giorno che campeggia sulle pagine di tutti i giornali.

E allora perché non chiedere aiuto a chi è andato da poco in pensione, ma non ha perso il gusto per le indagini?

Life has been hard for John. Now, he’s facing eviction and the loss of his precious freedom. If he can’t turn things around, he’ll be one of the have-nots living in the brutal Benefits Towers.

Sono tre, sono poliziotti, o meglio, lo sono stati; adesso sono in pensione. Ma hanno ancora un bel po' di conti in sospeso con delinquenti e farabutti sfuggiti alle maglie della Giustizia. I loro nomi in codice sono: Maalox, Kukident e Semolino, e la loro è la "Squadra speciale Minestrina in brodo". Ferruccio Pammattone, ex sostituto commissario e vice dirigente alla Squadra mobile, Eugenio Mignogna, ex sovrintendente alla Scientifica, Luc (e non Luca per un errore dell'impiegato all'anagrafe) Santoro, ex assistente capo all'Immigrazione, hanno molte cose in comune.
