Plot

Eric Idle and Robert Wuhl star as a mismatched couple, Wendel and Lou, in this mystery-comedy caper. Supporting characters include a one-handed kingpin,a lawyer who suffers from dwarfism, and twin brothers - one a crazed photographer and the other a mild-mannered antique dealer. When one of Wendel's many former foster parents, Mr Hu, dies, Wendel is bequeathed a riddle as his inheritance. Wendel and his cello-playing best friend Lou soon realise that the riddle isn't Hu's heirloom, just the key to finding Wendel's true inheritance. In the course of solving the riddle, they are pursued by several unfavourable characters, almost all of whom want them dead.
