This forties detective story come to life features Private Investigator Rick Archer who's out to find a curvaceous runaway on the forgotten island of Mustique, a place stuck in a black and white era
The owner of the Cafe Noir has washed ashore, murdered, and Rick's quarry was the last person seen with him
He employs his hard boiled talents to find the killer. Was it the French madame and club manager, the voodoo priestess, the shyster British attorney, the black marketeer or the femme fatale?
The audience votes twice on what they want Rick to do next and these decisions change the flow of this comic tribute to the Bogart era
