Detective Extralarge

Jack Costello is a retired cop and now private detective who lives in Miami, who handles a myriad of cases for unusual clients. At his side are old police buddy Sam Bosley and cartoonist-turned-amateur sleuth Jean Philippe Dumas, who is using Costello as an influence and has nicknamed the burly detective "Extralarge." In the second series, Costello faces other dangerous cases, again with Bosley and Archibald, the son of an old friend, who Costello amusingly nicknames "Dumas."

Indians

The mafia has decided to expand its gambling business to Florida as well, where however the state laws prohibit such activities. The lawyer Clemente is appointed to find ways of evading the legal loopholes and make the plan possible. Clemente discovers that the Indian reserves of America are exempt from the normal regulations of the States and prepares an action plan: he presents a project for the construction of an enormous shopping centre which, once approved, will instead become the biggest casino in America. An Indian chief, Thomas, opposes the project and is thus killed.
