George Segal plays the son of the famous Sam Spade, a reluctant, and not very good, private investigator. He keeps his father's statue of the Maltese Falcon in a dusty cabinet, until it becomes wanted by a mysterious man, a beautiful lady and a midget Nazi. Spade would prefer to sell it to the highest bidder, but instead is hunted by a group of Hawaiian hit men and becomes romantically involved with a lady who may or may not be what she seems. Obviously inspired by the genre spoofs of Mel Brooks, this little gem has been unfairly maligned over the years.
