A private eye is hired by a mayoral candidate to prevent any sort of adverse publicity. It seems that, somewhere in town, there's a talking blackbird who insists upon saying that the candidate will commit a murder. When the killing occurs, the candidate is implicated, and the detective is off on a hectic pursuit of the incriminating crow and the actual murderer.

    Are there better movie names than D.L. Trees and Pandora Pines? A fun detective mystery stripped down to just the funny fast-talking bits. Jerome Corwan was a unique guy. He played the exact same character in every film. If you liked him in the Maltese Falcon then you like him as another crow-chasing dick. Legit funny flim flam.
