Synopsis: | A slime-ball named Coins Fontaine has cashed in. When his account is closed, there's evidence of foul play. Who would want to kill Coins? Everybody! The fingers of suspicion especially point to Coins' hot young widow, a woman with the kind of shape that makes two great first impressions. Then there is Coins' two beautiful grown daughters, one with a Girl Scout fixation; and the other with a head for figures, perched atop a pretty good figure of her own. Watch out, Spuds, danger is everywhere! An affectionate homage to the hard-boiled private dicks who could handle guns and bodacious babes with equal aplomb. | |||||

Synopsis: | To Private Detective Spuds Idaho, life in L.A. is a 24 hour race around a track made of quicksand. When the dying Legs Flamingo leaves him a package to deliver, Spuds gets curious. Why is Leslie Detweiler more interested in the package than in the death of her husband: "Excuse me, but you look pretty collected for a lady whose breadwinner just got sliced four ways." Why was Legs mixed up with mob figure Vito "Fingers" Scampi: "So Fingers had Legs under this thumb." And how did it figure in with the Krieger heist: "The Commissioner was embarrassed. His boys in blue were red in the face." With the aid of his secretary, Ginny, and a wise cracking kid, it all untangles for Spuds Idaho. | |||||
