Storyline

One stormy night Sarah Bennet arrives at Detective Joe’s office. She asks him to find her missing sister. Drunk, Joe waves her off but something about Sarah touches him and he agrees to investigate the case, despite his misgivings. Jack, Joe’s partner, feels that something is fishy about the case and about Sarah and tries to dissuade Joe from getting involved. Joe realizes that the biggest criminal of the city that no one wants to mess with is involved, and what’s more, Sarah disappears. Now Joe must solve the entangled case. All dialogues are rhymed and sung on the beat.
