Action & AdventureDrama
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."

Jack Costello is a private detective in Miami and he finds out he is being followed by a man. He confronts him and finds out his name is Dumas. Dumas speaks with a French accent and he says he is a cartoonist and he needs Costello's image for his cartoon, but with a different name: Extralarge. Wendy is a black petty thief and when she steals an old pocket watch from Senator Pillinger and two men begin to shoot on her she seeks refuge with Costello.
