在这部夺宝奇谋喜剧/家庭/犯罪片中,《夺宝奇谋》是1988年由英国出品的侦探喜剧,主要面向青少年观众群体,部分场面虽然有点卡通化,但剧情发展仍相当曲折悬疑,编剧安东尼·霍洛维茨将整个解谜过程处理得趣味盈然,同时也将四十年代好莱坞侦探片的类型特色成功地转化成一种令年轻人易于共鸣的叙事方式。故事主人翁是伦敦的笨侦探提姆和他的弟弟,一名来自南美的矮子聘请提姆给他看管一个包裹,不料他迅即身亡。提姆决定打开看看这个神秘包裹,发现是一盒朱古力。弟弟不知其中原委,几乎将朱古力吃掉,却发现原来这是寻找一批钻石宝藏的线索。
When the man who left a package in his care is found murdered, detective Tim Diamond suddenly has every major gangster in the city after him. With only the package and the help of his little brother, Diamond sets out to unravel the mysterious plot.
