Fletch - Der Troublemaker (1985)
Irwin „Fletch“ Fletcher arbeitet bei einer Zeitung in Los Angeles, für die er unter dem Alias Jane Doe Enthüllungsberichte schreibt. Aktuell recherchiert er undercover an den Stränden von L.A., wo fleißig Drogen vertickt werden. Fletch hat es aber nicht auf die kleinen Fische abgesehen, sondern will den gesamten Ring hochgehen lassen - was ihm schnell eine Menge Ärger einbringt, denn die Spuren führen in offizielle Kreise. Plötzlich eröffnet sich noch ein interessanter Nebenkriegsschauplatz: Der erfolgreiche Geschäftsmann Alan Stanwyk bietet dem als Penner verkleideten Fletch 50.000 Dollar, damit dieser ihn umbringt. Stanwyk gibt vor, an einer tödlichen Krankheit zu leiden, seine Lebensversicherung zahle aber nur bei Mord. Fletch wird hellhörig und nimmt den Auftrag an. Er beginnt in Stanwyks Umfeld zu schnüffeln, um der ungewöhnlichen Offerte auf den Grund zu gehen. Dabei stößt er auch auf Stanwyks Ehefrau Gail, für die er sofort entbrennt…
