A group of friends obsessed with horror films and monster makeup live in a fantastic dreamworld version of modern day Mexico City.

After the conniving understudy of an avant-garde theater group knocks off the star actor, he finds himself in a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse with INSPECTOR IKE, New York City's Greatest Police Detective. A lost "TV movie" from the 1970's, INSPECTOR IKE is a warm-hearted satire, a celebration of detective serials, mixing visual gags, slapstick, gross food, and heartfelt emotion, featuring a rogue's gallery of NYC's best comedians carried out with a deadpan absurdist sensibility inspired by COLUMBO and THE NAKED GUN.
