In 1942, the crowned heads of Europe are blackmailed by the most dangerous man in the world: J. Edgar Hoover. They turn to the only man they can trust: a lanky, smart-alleck New Orleans detective by the name of Arthur Port (who just happens to be the same man that helped put a German rabble-rouser named Adolph in jail back in ’33). With his trusty sidekick Samantha Sarzana, daughter of a Chicago “family” boss, they race back and forth across the Atlantic, trying to stop Hoover before their deadline runs out. Comedy mixes with drama in this spoof of 40’s detective film noir, with just enough subtle deviations from actual history to keep you on your toes.
