Discovering the dog"s owner dead, they panic and become fugitives. Other victims of misfortune also become suspects, as the plot twists and luck and judgment desert everyone.

也许这么说有点夸张。不过嘿，这片子里两位女主角分别为Sean Young和Cybill Shepherd，对应的男星则是Richard Lewis和James Belushi，别忘了还有经典胖子John Candy和老妇女杀手George Hamilton！此等阵容怎么能让人随便一笑了之呢？ 最早看此片乃是通过地方电视台的英文频道，那时候还是个初中生的我看原音版还有些吃力，却也能把大致的剧情猜个八九不离十（很多并非靠表演展现的笑点我居然也能理解，比如1个半小时的xx马拉松，哇咔咔）。当时Cybill身着睡衣的扮相显然是最大看点。不过其他亮点比比皆是，比如 George Hamilton那让人看了想抽的怪脸，侦探搭档永远出故障的打火机，不仅长相似且胆量也似老鼠的老女佣。剧情对于一个初中生来说也充满曲折，各种线索加上各种阴差阳错，好好地悬念了一把。后来又在电视台上看到配音版，才得以完整地了解整个故事的来龙去脉。如今重看英文版，魅力依然不减。
