Ken ("Cannoli") Knoll is just your average architect. Not a detective. That is, until his young assistant Edison returns from a routine job inspection of one of the firm's buildings with startling news. There's a dead homeless man at the construction site and Ken is aghast when he learns Edison has taken it upon himself to remove the body and load it into one of the firm's trucks. However, before Edison can spirit the body away and dispose of it, a couple of the firm's top brass show up for a tour and Edison isn't able to put his plan in motion. And then Edison informs Ken that another architect has absconded with the truck, only to have it break down on the road, eventually ending up in the shop. When Ken finally catches up with the truck, the body has disappeared. Now, Ken must track down the body while at the same time try to keep his superiors from finding out, balance relationship trouble with his girlfriend Mary, and sympathize with fellow architect Gwen who's having a rough time, and satisfy a demanding client with grandiose ideas of the perfect chocolate shop. Surely, nothing else can go wrong? Like another dead body....
