A penniless pianist learns that contract-killing target Alfredo Garcia is already dead and sets out to recover his head and claim the bounty.

Set in Mexico.

All-singing, all-dancing musical extravaganza with a cast completely composed of mind-bogglingly talented children. Scott Baio is sinisterly covincing as the legendary gangster while Jodie Foster shows more than a glimmer of her Oscar-winning talent as his moll. Funny and hugely entertaining.
