A client going by the name of Charlie Brown hires Marlowe (Tomáš Hanák) for a routine job: to find his missing brother. But what at first seems a simple case gets more and more involved and Marlowe is slowly forced to uncover various conflicting trails of evidence. Along the way he encounters an assortment of characters, many of whom are caricatures, as demanded by the genre. Needless to say, he eventually brings the case to a successful conclusion. (official distributor synopsis)
