Summary:
After unsuccessfully searching for a French tycoon's missing daughter in Mexico, tough-guy private eye Campana is grudgingly saddled with accident-prone accountant Perrin, a would-be detective presumed to be so maladroit that he will unwittingly lead Campana to the missing girl. But once let loose in Mexico, the question becomes whether Perrin will crack the case or crack his skull first. Depardieu and Richard's comic chemistry buoys the anarchic slapstick and shaggy-dog story with gentle whimsy and graceful humanity.
