Surreal Action/Crime Drama
Feature Film
Just
before Sherlock Holmes is about to do his
arch rival Professor Moriarty in, the Professor
downs an alchemical concoction that transports
him into the future. Due to some technical
problems the Professor rematerializes as a
talking matzoh ball instead of a human being
at the famous L.A. eatery Canters. Luckily
a sickly poet/bus boy saves him from being
dumped in the trash. The bus boy and his brother
belong to a small-time crime ring and the
Professor quickly becomes the genius behind
their neighborhood crime sprees, turning the
group of petty thieves into sophisticated
bank robbers. Meanwhile a strange friendship
develops between the sickly young man and
the Professor. When the boy is on his death
bed, Professor Moriarty, the talking matzoh
ball, decides, for once in his life, to make
the ultimate sacrifice, thus showing a kindness
that even Sherlock Holmes never expected him
capable of.
