Jake Axminster is a determined but unethical private detective who looks out for himself—and somewhat less aggressively for his clients—amid the corruption of Los Angeles, California, in the mid-1930s. He is aided in his investigative efforts by two friends: his ditzy blonde secretary, Marsha Finch, who also runs a call-girl business on the side, and attorney Michael Brimm. Brimm is called upon frequently to defend Axminster from charges (mostly trumped-up) leveled against him by Lieutenant Murray Quint, a fat, cigar-chomping, and thoroughly crooked member of the Los Angeles Police Department.
Welcome to corrupt Los Angeles back in the great Depression, where cars, phones, clothes and slang of the era abound. Sea high level citizens on-the-take through the eyes of private detective Jake Axminster, checking up on the murder of an actor.
Diane Ladd guest-stars as Laura Taylor, a secretary who hinders the investigation into the disappearance of her boss, a columnist, in 'The November Plan.' A trail of intrigue, suspicion and homicide, extending from the police and the city's leading newspaper to at least one mysterious general, leads Axminster (Wayne Rogers) all around corruption-riddled Los Angeles in the 1930's.
