Synopsis

The Dean Martin - Jerry Lewis comedy team may have called it quits, but that didn't mean the laughs were over. Jerry's first film without longtime partner Dino makes a hilarious case for law enfarcement! The nutty one stars as The Delicate Delinquent, a bumbling janitor who pals around with the switchblade set but decides to become a cop. Darren McGavin (A Christmas Story) co-stars as one of New York's finest in this terrific blend of zaniness and social comment that's one of Jerry Lewis' finest.
