Nick和Nora 这对搞笑侦探夫妻档总是连手出击调查案件。这回他们要着手的是一位发明家失踪的案子，老人乐团要找出为何会失踪，老人乐团且失踪到哪里去了……？相当成功地将喜剧和悬疑元素交融在一起。William Powell和Myrna Loy 饰演的夫妻档，是影史上第一对塑造成功的屏幕情侣组合！本片导演就是影坛上有『一次OK』之封号的 W.S. Van Dyke，本片他只花了两礼拜就拍摄完毕！由华人黄宗沾担纲摄影指导。本片独有的喜剧悬疑风，也成往后这类型电影的祖师爷。Albert Hackett和Frances Goodrich 根据 Dashiell Hammett 的小说改编成剧本。后来还拍摄了五部续集。
回复 :It's a wonderful spoof documentary following a team on its quest for the oil gobbler, an animal that has evolved to be the perfect denizen of a polluted world. Loathed by the locals for its voracious habit of eating anything plastic, from wellington boots to the protective sleeves farmers put round their saplings to prevent them being eaten by other animals, the ropaci is an elusive specimen and has the team - and thus the audience - intrigued. Finally, they catch it on film - and then manage to capture a young one that they want to take back home with them. The perils of their journey from the pollution-ridden Bohemian basin back through the clean, fresh air of the forest prove too much for the little creature and they come up with an ingenious way of saving it.
