斯特勞布夫妻將詩人Franco Fortini的長詩《西奈之犬》（Cani del Sinai）透過詩人自己的讀詩與一些空鏡頭結合，希冀將詩意以「不加干涉」的方式呈現，邀觀眾進入詩的空間。 ----------------------------------------------- The film is a sort of presentation of Franco Fortini's book 'I Cani del Sinai'. Fortini, an Italian Jew, reads excerpts from the book about his alienation from Judaism and from the social relations around him, the rise of Fascism in Italy, the anti-Arab attitude of European culture. The images, mostly a series of Italian landscape shots, provide a backdrop that highlights the meaning of the text. （Written by Fabrizio Sabidussi）

该剧集以Torquay一家小旅馆Fawlty Towers为背景，主要人物包括John Cleese饰演的旅馆主人，笨手笨脚、脾气糟糕、极度老派、市侩而且怕老婆到死的Basil Fawlty；爱唠叨、笑声可怕、能让比自己高一个半头的老公噤若寒蝉的旅馆女主人Sybil Fawlty；Connie Booth饰演的经常被搅进老板倒霉事的临时女侍Polly；以及Basil为了省钱而雇佣的、听不懂几句英文、经常遭老板拳脚相向的西班牙侍者兼小厮Manuel。由这四位经营的Fawlty Towers可想而知是经常陷入窘境难以自拔了，而旅馆的几位长住客人和各色过往人等则常常成为其中的牺牲品。
