Private Eye Public Nuisance
Dissatisfied with his lot in life, Bart Umbel resolves to escape the tedium of his Daily existence, though without any notion of how or what he would need to do in order to achieve ultimate happiness. When such a change is all but forced upon him, Bart boldly accepts the challenge and embarks on his quest of becoming the city's greatest Crime Solver. How can a humble Civil Servant hope to match wits with the crafty and unscrupulous soldiers of one of New York City's elite crime rings? Will Umbel succeed in overcoming the infamous AC gang and foil the plans of the devilish fiends? What will Bart have for lunch? These and other questions are resolved within, as is the dichotomy which defines his very being.
