Plot

Nunzio Sabatino (David Proval) is a grown man with the demeanor of a young child. He lives at home with his doting mother (Morgana King) and brother Jamesie (James Andronica). Nunzio has a job as a bicycle delivery man for Angelo (Joe Spinell), the neighborhood grocer. Nunzio is fixated on elements of superhero stories; he wears sweatshirts that he has emblazoned with a shield and a capital "N" in the style of Superman, along with a cape, and often jumps across his neighborhood's rooftops. Younger children enjoy Nunzio's company, particularly Georgie (Glenn Scarpelli), whom he suggests will one day have to take his place as neighborhood do-gooder. However, he is also constantly bullied by a gang of youths, led by JoJo (Vincent Russo), who ridicule his dress and take advantage of his diminished faculties.
