Once this oddball pair disembarks at the village of Santa Maria, business really kicks off: the local newspaper sponsors the fight, and helping hands placard posters announcing an open call for a worthy adversary. Ever so resourceful, Orsini has always known how to find the right combatant that will invariably lose against Jacob, but fishing in Santa Maria could lead to a bigger catch than he'd hoped for. --© Film Movement
