There are “Dadd jokes” galore in this fast-talking film-noir spoof featuring Detective Hugo Dadd, whose idea of justice is served with a punny dish of corn. When a mysterious case goes missing from the bus station — a suitcase, that is — Dadd is on the case of the missing case, using his arsenal of wordplay and one-liners to ensure his investigation is over the top. It starts when his capricious new client, Dinah Mite, explodes onto the scene in search of the mysterious MacGuffin suitcase, claiming to know nothing of it, other than it was hers to retrieve. Dadd soon comes across a pair of common crooks in Robin Banks and Rex Carrs, who lead the droll detective to believe there’s more to the story than Miss Mite might be telling. And when a couple of coppers — brothers Ben Ding and Stan Ding — start sniffing around, Detective Dadd realizes there’s more to this mysterious case than meets the eye. Who’s telling the truth? Find out in this mile-a-minute comedic homage to The Maltese Falcon.
