This ingenious documentary follows the most unlikely man ever to be a detective, and his ham-fisted staff, as they tackle a wide ranging and often-bizarre set of cases. One minute they are tracking down counterfeit shampoo, the next following a cheating husband, and then a brutal triple murderer. In between all this they find time to enter a Television Talent Dancing Show even though not a single one of then has any sense of rhythm, but they are still happy enough to be abused by the pretty female choreographer who forces them through their paces wearing quite ridiculously camp outfits. And if this wasn’t enough the Detective’s young wife dies and we are treated (!) to the sight of a ritual Hindu Funeral Pyre.
