Here's Ace, making a fool of himself and Melissa as he tries in vain to link the wealthy Ronald Camp (Udo Kier) to the crime. Here's Ace, turning up a clue the police missed: the stone from an AFC Championship ring found in the bottom of Snowflake's now-empty tank. He's not very confidence-inspiring and she's sure she's about to become unemployed.Īce alternately shows moments of stunning detective work and total incompetence. In desperation, Melissa turns to Ace, who looks like he dresses in the dark, who eats sunflower seeds like a parrot and whose hairdo looks like a cross between Bob's Big Boy and the tail end of a cockatoo. To team owner Don Riddle (Noble Willingham), nothing's riding on Melissa's success - except (in order of importance) the Super Bowl, the lives of two mammals dear to his heart - one an All-Pro quarterback, the other a member of an endangered species - and, oh yes - Melissa's job. Melissa Robinson (Courteney Cox), the Dolphins' marketing director, is saddled with the task of solving the twin kidnappings.
A combination of Jerry Lewis and Doctor Doolittle, the bumbling Ace always gets his man (or dog, or cat or parrot). Shunned by Miami police for not being a legitimate sleuth, the ingenious creature catcher relies solely on his wits and the undying dedication of his menagerie to get the job done. And when the dolphin-napping is followed by the vanishing of star Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino - everyone needs Ace on the case. When the disappearance of Snowflake, a bottle-nosed dolphin who's the official mascot of the Miami Dolphins football team, confounds the local authorities on the eve of the Super Bowl, there proves to be only one man with just the right credentials, only one man with just the right intuition, only one man who knows the difference between a dolphin and a porpoise.Ace Ventura. He's the finest pet detective there is - in fact, he's the only one there is. He takes his place among the best and brightest in the pantheon of great detectives: from Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot to Miss Marple and Inspector Clouseau.
