[net.movies] Manchu-Eagle Murder Mystery

I just borrowed a vid-tape of this movie.  My friend lent it to me because it
features Huntz Hall (the Bowery Boy) in a different sort of role.  Anyone
ever seen it besides me (and my friend)?  It's about a small-town guy who 
runs an egg hatchery who opens a local Private-Eye business, and instantly
gets mixed up in a murder.  Nicholas Colasanto is in it (Coach from Cheers),
as a bartender (type-casting?) who speaks ONLY in cliches, Will Geer plays
a senile doctor, Vincent Gardenia is the rich guy who runs the town.  The
guy who plays the Private Eye is a nobody.  (Hall plays the Deputy Sheriff--
a typical dippy kind of guy)

Anybody know much about it?
