Hope plays a baby photographer, mistaken for a private detective, which leads him to get involved with a beautiful and mysterious woman (Dorothy Lamour) trying to locate her missing uncle. Shortly after starting the case, both are kidnapped by a sinister gang of foreign agents and framed for murder. A comic turn on classic film noir and those hard-boiled Mickey Spillane thrillers.
