synopsis

Within that bizarre flower lies a huge enigma,” muses Nick Carter, America’s Greatest Detective, called to Prague to investigate the case of a missing dog and instead winding up in the jaws of a giant carnivorous plant controlled by his old nemesis, The Gardener, in Czech director Oldřich Lipský’s beloved cult hit. Inspired by the Nick Carter dime novel detective stories created by John R. Coryell, ADELA is an irresistible slapstick combination of 19th century James Bond gadgetry, Little Shop of Horrors, Blake Edwards circa The Pink Panther Strikes Again and Louis Feuillade silent serials like Fantomas. In other words, a sheer delight.
