1920's, New Orleans. Barrington "Bear " Gunn is a WWI veteran who decides to live the life of his pulp heroes and open up a detective agency. Unfortunately, the gumshoe business is more about avoiding bill collectors than punching bad guys. Then one day, a terrified musician on the run comes to him for help. A few hours later, Bear Gunn is up to his belt buckle in voodoo, goons and, oh, yeah....geese.
