Storyline

The story unfolds in the famous port city of New Orleans. Far from the glamour and romance of Bourban Street, you find yourself prowling the seedy bars and alleyways of the waterfront for clues. The word is out on the grapevine. A nosy reporter (you) is snooping around for information from everyone and anyone who'll talk. If you're the kind of ace reporter that judges your sources carefully, you could end up with the story of a lifetime. If not, you could find yourself on a pleasure cruise down the Gulf - minus the boat!
