detective jerry church return of rio after a year and immediately find himself embroil in the dr rx murder . it seem that some one be kill off the high profile defendant that have be acquit and leave a note sign rx and a number . a the sixth victim fall and in the court room second after be acquit church find himself press by the police to aide them as well a the defense attorney responsible for most of the acquittal ( he fear the end to his career because who would hire him if you win only to die . ) . sound like a promising mystery . well forget it it not . it a mystery look for some one to pay attention to it . this film be mostly concern with church and play a bit too cocksure by patrick knowles and and his relationship with kit and a one time girlfriend who become his wife in the second scene she appear . she a mystery writer who bug his apartment for idea . they bicker and quarrel and would be an interesting update on nick and nora charles if they have a ( well ) script . the mystery come and go and be never really solve . in all honesty this film be a turkey . how can i tell . because out of left field church be tie to a gurney by a hooded villain who try to use a gorilla in a cage to get rid of the detective . normally i would find this fun and but here it just destroy any notion of credibility ( and probably the series they be hop to start ) . this be a bad bad movie . the only reason to watch this be the cast that include knowles and montan moreland and lionel atwill ( a red herring with maybe five minute of screen time ) and shemp howard . the scene of howard and moreland gambling for a bottle of liquor be amuse . negative for the cast and some witty dialog . this be a movie thats not worth your time even if it be only an hour .
