He’s a hilarious hawkshaw… with a case on Dottie!
The Story
A meek baby photographer who dreams of being a hard-boiled detective gets mistaken for the real thing.
When the glamorous Carlotta hires Ronnie Jackson to find her missing uncle, the daydreamer is plunged into a genuine racket over a map to hidden uranium. Framed for murder and tangled with sinister heavies, Ronnie bluffs and blunders his way through a case far too big for him. Bob Hope's spoof of tough-guy thrillers races toward the death house before a last-second reprieve, with a famous executioner's cameo, springs him loose and into Carlotta's arms.
