Finbar Finnegan , a San Diego police, detective and someime actor, has a midlife crisis at 45, his existence having been dominated by three sisters while growing up and by three ex wives as an adult. His theme song is "Someone to Watch over Me" he needs a mommy/wife, has sworn off marriage, but finds himself tied ticklingly to two female detectives at once, both of whom see him as romantically interesting despite immense shortcomings: happy, cheerful, pistol packing Petty Officer "Baaad Dog" Bobbie Ann Doggett, 28 an investigator for the navy who's looking for 2,000 boots hijacked from a warehouse: and District Attorney's Investigatior Nell Salter, 43 once divorced, and looking for a stolen truck filled with supertoxic waste. The truck actually was "stolen" by its tow drivers who lifted the boots while picking up drums of toxic waste at a naval station, took them to a fence in Tijuana, then pretended their truck was stolen while they ate lunch. The truck, however, gets sold to a Mexican pottery maker, who repaints it and uses it to deliver pots to San Diego.
