Plot: Gregg, a young man, wants to become a detective. He receives a telephone call from a girl inviting him to a secret place, where he’ll be entrusted with an important mission. It turns out to be a trap, though: the corpse of a bandit – with a wooden leg which has been holllowed out and filled with heroin – has been put in his car. Two feuding gangs are after the corspe, and Gregg’s stuck right in the middle of them…<\/p>\n

Notes: A comic vehicle for Henry Salvador, a very popular Franco – Guyanese singer who plied a similar kind of gallic rock’n’roll to Johnny Hallyday as well as more South American influenced jazz and bossanova. He was also another early example of a black European star.

It doesn’t appear to have had an international release, but it looks interesting…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
