John Candy is bigger, better and more bumbling than ever as the hilarious Harry Crumb.  He’s a big-hearted, soft-headed private eye.

Harry’s the last of the great sleuthing Crumbs – and the last person in the firm to ever get an assignment.  He finally gets a shot at a front page kidnapping.  But it’s only because his beady-eyed boss, Eliot Draisen (Jeffrey Jones), doesn’t want the case solved.  At stake is the gorgeous daughter of multi-millionaire P.J. Downing, a $10 million ransom, and Eliot’s hot-to-trot mistress (Annie Potts).

Dressed in bizarre disguises, Harry is determined to solve the case.  He plans to prove that he’s one Crumb that won’t be swept under the carpet.
