He's smooth, he's cool, he's quick with a gun
A master in the boudoir
A guy in a trenchcoat, who gets the job done
Guy, Guy Noir.
The show is a
parody of old radio theatre
private detective serials. Even though the style and
dialog echo the noir
genre, the subject matter is often
topical. This
juxtaposition is part of its
appeal.
A dark night in a city that knows how to keep its secrets. But on the twelfth floor of the Acme Building, one man is trying to find the answers to life's persistent questions: Guy Noir, Private Eye.
