From Il Cinema Ritrovato: "We do not find all the scènes comiques of 1907 very comic, but sometimes we really have to laugh. Babies fly through the air like footballs; furniture is enthusiastically demolished; Little Tich shoots a coquettish look from his old man’s face out to us: the mechanism of the comic effects still functions impeccably a hundred years later"
A murder takes place in a suburban high school. A mentally defective detective Delgado Rodriguez and his partner, the German ex-soldier-veteran Stilenacht, begin a wide-ranging investigation. The comically hapless duo go undercover, roaming the halls among the students, looking for clues. They have no idea what they're getting themselves into. Nothing is certain in this case. The film is full of pop-culture references and allusions, relentlessly peppered with corny puns that sometimes become an integral part of the plot and story. The film takes a similar approach to the mixing of genres; the crime film premise crosses into the realms of fantasy and horror in the course of a plot that is often self-contradictory.

The story reflects the tension between two opposing forces in society—the disruptive but righteous and the silent but complicit—and the cost of choosing either path.
