The Maltese Ukulele

Somehow I got the idea that it would be nice to produce a little video inspired by the old film noir detective stories.
This is the result.

Sam Diamond is a private eye and ukulele specialist
He is just having lunch, when this blond bombshell enters his office
Her stepsister has stolen her ukulele and she wants it back
It´s not precious but means much to her - it´s an heirloom in fact
She leaves an address where her stepsister can found
Her name is Kitty and she works as a singer in a club in the meanest part town
Sam drives to a club called Franklins -- as shabby as can be
The program there tells that Kitty will sing and play a ukulele
He takes his place at the bar and knows that something is in the air
The show starts and he realizes the ukulele is the only thing that Kitty will wear
Beautiful girls, fast cars and the bullets fly -- that´s the life of a private eye.
He cools down and walks backstage to her room to talk to her
She tells him that the ukulele on stage was not the one he´s looking for
The old one looked bad so she sold it to a money lender and bought a new
So Diamond says goodbye and drives to that guy -- and nearly crashes the car
The money lender does not look very happy as Diamond enters his store
The uke he is searching is lying on the desk is obviously pretty much worth
And then suddenly Kitty appears because she found out what is going on
She wants to get the uke back and she has got a gun
And last not least her sister joins and not just to say hello
It´s not surprising for Diamond that she has got a gun also
They don´t talk much before they open fire
and it´s hard to tell what happening then
When it´s all over Diamond is the only one who´s still standing
Beautiful girls, fast cars and the bullets fly -- that´s the life of a private eye.
So for him the story comes to a very nice end
While he is playing on this nice instrument
Have I already told you about his secretary? Well -- here she is.
He takes the beautiful lady and drives to the beach
Did I tell you that the story is located on Hawaii? Yes, it is.
And they sit on the beach and Sam plays on this nice Instrument -- and the story comes to an end.
Beautiful girls, fast cars and the bullets fly -- that´s the life of a private eye.
