Double Whammy
A comedy about a detective with everything... but a clue.
Directed by Tom DiCillo
Produced by Lemon Sky Productions, Apostle
A screwball comedy-drama about a bumbling detective drowning in personal and professional chaos, held together by irreverent humor and absurdist situations.
Ray Pluto has many problems. He is satirized in the tabloids as the "loser cop." His partner is starting to seem suspiciously attracted to him. A pair of screenwriters across the hall keep bugging him for help. The superintendent of his building is stabbed by hoodlums hired by his own rebellious daughter. To top it off, a sexually aggressive chiropractor may just be Ray's undoing.
