Detective Fritz Brown, a former alcoholic obsessed with classical music, especially Beethoven's, is not a conventional detective: he was kicked out of the Los Angeles police years ago and he still has to move sometimes on the verge of the law to get ahead. Brown has a very peculiar way of handling his cases. A beggar-looking caddie but a lot of money, for example, offers him a thousand dollars to watch over the rich Jewish fighter with whom his sister lives for a few days. But she turns out to be very attractive, and a passionate cello, plus, and Brown decides to follow her too and investigate where her strange client gets so much money...
