## Description

Fletch fans rejoice! Chevy Chase returns to the screen as the reckless I.M. Fletcher , investigate reporter in Fletch Lives.

This time, the chameleon-like reporter ventures to Belle Isle, a sprawling 80-acre Louisiana plantation which Fletch inherits from his aunt. Trouble begins when a lovely attorney mysteriously turns up dead, a neighborly lawyer (Hal Holbrook) warns him to leave town, and a ravishing real estate agent (Julianne Phillips) come calling with a persistent offer he may not be able to refuse.

Fletch must unravel the reasons for the mad land scramble with his trademark bag of hilarious disguises in this fast-moving comedy that ABC Radio calls "great fun!"
