Someone is stealing cars and the police can’t catch them. The thief, dubbed The Roadrunner, is rumored to have a box which can be used to remotely start the car and drive it to a nearby location where the thief is waiting to jump in and drive it away.
When the police have no luck stopping the thefts, the insurance company hires private eye Pete Novick. When he visits the police station, he finds old flame Nifty Nolan works there.
Meanwhile gangster Spillano is calling Captain Hogan because his shipment of heroin was in one of the stolen cars. Hogan is on the take so Spillano wants to make sure he knows there’s going to be trouble if the heroin isn’t returned.
Silly 1970s dialogue
What’s the matter with you, turkey?
If that’s the Roadrunner, I’m a four foot sword swallower with a six foot sword.
He’s probably got two glass eyes.
Wait till my dad hears about this. He’s a lawyer. He’ll make you look like a jerk.
Oooo speedtrap, turn around and jump back - line from Theme song
