Gene Handsome, a police detective in Los Angeles, lives alone with his dog Candy. His boss, Lieutenant Tucker, forces him to accept a container of homemade cookies despite his protestations that he is trying to lose weight. While walking his dog, he meets his next door neighbor, a private detective with an accordion playing wife. Handsome denies that his dog defecated on the neighbor's lawn, and the neighbor tells him a new neighbor has moved in to the house on the other side of Handsome's. Handsome takes the cookies to the new neighbor's house as a "welcome to the neighborhood" gift, but her babysitter, Heather Dromgoole, refuses to accept them so he leaves them on the porch. The next day, Handsome and his foul-mouthed partner, Fleur Scozzari, arrive at a crime scene. Handsome is surprised to find Dromgoole has been dismembered outside of the home of actor Talbert Bacorn. After dismissing the bizarre hypotheses of several trainee detectives, Talbert deduces that Dromgoole, who he knows is cautious, must have known her killer. Bacorn says that at the time of the murder, he was taking care of his neighbor's dog and watching a TV rebroadcast of one of his early films.
