Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid Page #7

Synopsis: Juliet Forrest is convinced that the reported death of her father in a mountain car crash was no accident. Her father was a prominent cheese scientist working on a secret recipe. To prove it was murder, she enlists the services of private eye Rigby Reardon. He finds a slip of paper containing a list of people who are "The Friends and Enemies of Carlotta." Searching for answers, Rigby encounters assorted low-lifes: dangerous men and women who were the hallmarks of the classic detective movies of the 40's and 50's. Filming in black and white allows scenes from old movies to be cut into this film. It is through this process that Rigby's assistant is none other than Philip Marlowe himself.

That gives me four hours to

wash and press your pajamas.

No, thanks, Carlos.

I don't think I'll be needing

my pajamas any more.

What a guy!

What are you... doing?

Adjusting your willie.

When you fell through the window,

it shifted out of whack.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.

I hadn't had my willie adjusted

like that in a long time...

Especially without having to beg.

So there it was...

the Carlotta mystery...

All wrapped up in

a neat little bundle.

As I stood there kissing Juliet, I thought

of nothing but hanging up my gun...

and spending the rest of my days

in that ivy-covered cottage.

Little did I realise that

less than a year later...

She and I would have an even

more exciting adventure...

Which is coming soon to your

neighbourhood theater...

With a possible nude

scene by Juliet.
