What's Up, Doc?

When absent-minded Musicologist Professor Howard Bannister (Ryan O'Neal) arrives in San Francisco to try and win a research grant, the last thing he expects is to have his world turned upside down by Miss Judy Maxwell (Barbra Streisand), a girl who causes chaos wherever she goes. In the space of two days he gets mixed up with a millionnaire, jewel thieves, kidnappers, a spy and a government agent; accidentally sets his hotel room on fire, finds himself sitting on a grocery deliverer's bicycle inside a Chinese Dragon and ends up dressed as a Cantonese Mandarin in a car chase through the city in a stolen VW Beetle.
