Investigator Gay "The Falcon" Lawrence has come to welcome his brother Tom whom he hasn't seen for 5 years. His boat is docking. Gay is told of a death on board. Everybody assumes it to be Tom committing suicide. Gay notices that it's not his brother and goes in pursuit of a suspect. Inspector Timothy Donovan is always a step behind and a clue short.
It's a lot of convenient turns and convoluted plot. I'm half-following it but it's not that big of a deal. I really like the Chinese servant who does a stereotype to fool people. The magazine cover idea is a silly cinematic creation but it's all good fun. I have issues with the final ending. I understand the actor's wishes but there has to be better ways to retire the character without resorting to that. Also it's done in an off-camera which is rather confusing. Nevertheless, it's mostly fun and if it has to end, it ends.
