Synopsis
This comedy, inspired by paperback crime novels, tells the story of an action-packed search for a mysterious murderer who, just after the end of the First World War, has gone on the rampage in Wilson City, a run-down town somewhere in Eastern Europe. The investigation is led by an unlikely pair of detectives – a novice, a local police cadet named Eisner and Food, an experienced FBI officer, who has been sent to Europe by US President Woodrow Wilson himself.
