He's a detective and no one has a clue why.
The daughter of a wealthy businessman has been kidnapped, and the chief of police, under a lot of pressure to find her as soon as possible, assigns Officers Kopek and Broom to track her down and bring her back safe and sound.

Like the one it spun-off from, it's not good... but it is slightly better. <em>'It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time'</em> is rubbish, though <em>'Find the Lady'</em> is a tiny bit of an improvement - emphasis on the world tiny. I like the cast in this one a tad more, obviously John Candy but also Lawrence Dane, Dick Emery and Mickey Rooney are also alright. It's mainly the poor attempt at comedy and the story itself that is damaging to this 1976 film. I personally didn't find any part definitively funny, though I will say I did chuckle once or twice - one being when the bad guys are in the back of a truck trailer and Dane's character knocks on it... it's stupid, but it got a reaction out of me I can't lie.
