Sherlock Sleuth

In the chaotic halls of the Hotel Omigosh, Cyril Fromage (Arthur Stone) serves as the resident house detective, a man whose ambition far outweighs his actual investigative prowess. His life is a whirlwind of hotel bureaucracy managed by the stern Noah Young and a sweet romance with the hotel's sharp-witted switchboard operator, Martha Sleeper. The peace of the establishment is shattered by the arrival of 'The Weasel,' a cunning thief who, alongside a seductive female accomplice, begins a spree of high-stakes robberies. Cyril is thrust into a series of escalating slapstick confrontations, attempting to outmaneuver a criminal who is consistently three steps ahead. The narrative is less a linear mystery and more a frantic canvas for 1920s physical comedy, featuring inventive gags that turn mundane hotel equipment into tools of comedic destruction.
