Movie Description
John Candy is Harry Crumb, the last in large family of private eyes. Unfortunately, big-hearted Harry's bumbling nature has led to his exile from the family for ten years while the family business was turned over to snakelike Eliot Draisen (Jeffrey Jones). Draisen plans on capitalizing on portly Harry's ineptitude when he puts Crumb on the case after kidnapping his own best client's daughter so that he can run away with the client's wife (Annie Potts). But this time, Harry, with a bizarre array of disguises, just might crack the case and prove he's one Crumb that won't be swept under the rug!
Synopsis
Here's the cast of characters: a money-hungry wife, a too-rich husband, a jealous lover looking to scam the hubby and a kidnapped sexpot daughter who's a pawn in a dangerous game. Anyone can see what's going on -- except not-too-bright detective Harry Crumb, who unfortunately is the one working the case. But he is a master of disguise, and luckily a preteen sleuth is on hand to help the many-faced hero figure out the situation.

"...Pleasantly silly....[The writers] have come up with a gallery of deliciously skewered private-eye stereotypes..."
