The overhyped LAPD overreacts. Chief Bill Parkers looking for some getback. The Monroe deal looks like a moneymaker. He calls in Freddy Otash.; The freewheeling Freddy O: tainted ex-cop, defrocked private eye, dope fiend, and freelance extortionist. A man who lives by the maxim Opportunity is love. Freddy gets to work. He dimly perceives Marilyn Monroes death and the kidnapped starlet to be a poisonous riddle that only he has the guts and the brains to untangle. We are with him as he tears through all those who block his path to the truth.
