This 1986 Showtime Special features the late great Harry "The Hat" Anderson performing a slick, occasionally shocking mix of magic and comedy for a live audience, inter-cut with a few sequences in which he repeatedly scams a mark. Look for Night Court co-star John Larroquette in a key scene.

It is one week since Meadowdale's run-in with The Chartreuse Men, and he is broke. Just when it seems all hope is lost, salvation enters his office in the form of one Miss Victoria Urstaring. Now, Meadowdale is back on his feet and after the missing case of bourbon and the mysterious "Malted Eagle" statue. The Detective is lead down a "string" of paths, and in the process, is framed for murder! It's a case only our hero can solve...or rather, stumble upon and in the end, Cupid's arrow is more involved than Meadowdale is prepared for.
