At the summons of his on-again, off-again lover, Fletch drops in on MoxieтАЩs film set, located in sunny Florida. If being called up for help by the box office beauty isnтАЩt work enough, Steve Peterman, MoxieтАЩs sleazy manager, is murdered while the cameras are rolling, and no one managed to see a thing. Despite the obvious lack of evidence, the rumor mill is still quick to churn up a potentially plausible suspect: Moxie.
Realizing the need for a little R&R away from prying eyes, he hastily flies Moxie and her drunken father off to Key West. But trouble follows Fletch, in every sense of the word, and soon enough heтАЩs playing host to a full house of HollywoodтАЩs brightest.
In true Fletch style, he delves into the investigation, dodging police inquiry, betting on race horses, taking a leisurely sail, and talking up his elite houseguests to get the dirt and solve this perplexing murder.
