The story of Seersucker Sleuth

Detective Lou Marbella never untied his bow tie, never raised his voice and never got a single wrinkle in his striped seersucker suit, even during pedal boat chases. Every case was a missing parrot, a stolen trophy or a swapped briefcase. The theme song was mostly ukulele and seagulls, and dads hummed it while grilling all summer.

Fun fact

Lou's turquoise station wagon was a painted golf cart in close-ups because the real one kept stalling.
