Summary

Pay him a little bit, he's a little bit tough. Pay very much, he's very much tough. Pay too much, he's too much tough. 1940s Hollywood private eye Toby Peters returns -- unfortunately, with an awful case of the flu. Peters is coughing and sniffling his way through the Chicago underworld in a desperate attempt to clear the name of Chico Marx, who is accused of owing $120,000 in gambling debts to the mob. In addition to gangsters, Peters has to deal with Chico's partners. One of them doesn't speak -- he's a silent partner -- and the other one goes around with a black mustache. Though if he had his choice, he'd go around with a little blonde. Things may be looking rough, but with the help of a few other tough guys who're siding with him -- Al Capone, Richard Daley, and Ian Fleming -- Peters just may have a chance
