Plot: Late at night, in an unnamed U.S. city, a solitary man sits at a bus stop. A pregnant woman runs by, pursued by a man with a gun. With reluctance, the man at the bus stop rescues her and assists with the baby's delivery, while additional pursuers fire at them, including the gang's particularly nasty leader, an intuitive man named Hertz. Our hero, known only as Smith, determines to save the child and find out why Hertz wants the baby dead. At a local bordello, he tries to employ a lactating hooker to watch the child, but things quickly escalate, and this makeshift family is soon on the run. Heavy metal music calms the baby. Why? A laboratory, gun factory, and presidential campaign all figure in Smith's quest for the child's safe deliverance.

Plot: Kids' comedy with all the clichés. Six boys (hero, pudgy, dumb, romeo, etc), reluctantly sent to summer camp, are grouped together in a ramshackle hut, and instantly identified as losers and outcasts by the overconfident camp bullies, who target gorgeous Tiffany (Jakub) as their Lothario's girlfriend. They set out to make everyone's life miserable as they impose their authority on the other kids and ineffective counselors alike. Griff, the good-guy hero, of course has a crush on Tiffany, but hasn't a clue how to approach her. Gradually, the nice guys gain the edge over the bullies, by honest endeavor and standing up for themselves - and in doing so, win over the other kids, even Tiffany. Until the bullies frame them and have them expelled.

Escudo: Ah, poor Ballantine, who died in the moment of our triumph. So artistic! So generous! And the most honest of us all. I weep for him! May his good soul go to heaven and then be greeted by our Lord above. Wait! This now means there's only four of us! So we divide his share between us, huh?

Colonel Skimmel: The worst kind of informer. For gold he would have betrayed his own mother... or us. My father, Admiral Von Skimmel, used to hang such traitors from the *mast*!

Major Metternich: [to Ballantine] *I* would not have given you the honor of being executed by a firing squad.

[Sabata catches an Austrian agent in a snare]::Sabata: Hang around, I'll be back.::Austrian agent: [furious] I'll get you when I get down!::[Sabata shoots the rope in two with a small pistol.

Quotes:

Philo Vance: You see, Markham, we have all of the parts of the puzzle, but none of them seems to fit.

Dr. Doremus - Coroner: [after examining Coe's body] Gentlemen, this man had been dead for some time when the bullet entered his head.::J.P. Markham: How long has he been dead?::Dr. Doremus - Coroner: Well, I'd say about eight to ten hours, but give me a chance to do a little carvin'.

Dr. Doremus - Coroner: [about the dead Archer Coe] There couldn't have been much of a struggle. His hair isn't even mussed.::Ryan: [Sardonically] Somebody must have blackjacked him and then combed his hair.

Ryan: Suicide?::Dr. Doremus - Coroner: All I know is he's dead, and there's still too many people in the world.

Philo Vance: [Sniffing the aroma of the lipstick from the back of his hand] Gardenia, I should say. Definitely common. Do you know anything about lipstick, Ryan?::Ryan: [Taking offence] What do you think I am?::Philo Vance: Hmmm... I'll let you know.::Ryan: [Annoyed, as Vance is leaving] Okay, wise guy, you're not out of the woods yet!::Philo Vance: You're right, Ryan.

Avery: [Referring to Vance's secret mission]... and you understand the American government must not enter into this.::Philo Vance: I know. If I'm caught, I shall be a man without a country.::Avery: More than that, Vance. Possibly also a man without a head!::Philo Vance: Hmmm, not an amusing thought, your excellency.

Philo Vance: [Approaching Grassi's table as he is eating] Signor Grassi?::Eduardo Grassi: [Looking up] Yes.::Philo Vance: The same Signor Grassi who distinguished himself in the Ethiopian campaign?::Eduardo Grassi: The same.::Philo Vance: I hope you'll pardon the intrusion. My name is Philo Vance.::Eduardo Grassi: Oh, uh, won't you join me? I've heard of you too.::Philo Vance: Have you also heard that Mr. Archer Coe, whose airplane designs you've tried to buy for your government has been murdered?::Eduardo Grassi: [Shocked] Murdered?::Ryan: Yes, stabbed in the back! And the dagger's been a favorite Latin weapon since Nero played with matches!

Dr. Doremus - Coroner: [after being called for the third time] I'd like to rent a room here until they finish this case.

Ryan: [as they are entering the front doo] By the way, Philo, how was the weiner schnitzel over there?::Philo Vance: Hmmm, mostly bread and water!

Philo Vance: [Finding no knife hole in the robe Coe was apparently stabbed in] This complicates things a bit.::Ryan: Hunh?::Philo Vance: You still think it was suicide?::Ryan: It's clear he couldn't have slugged, shot, and stabbed himself... particularly in the back.
