Private investagator Laura Holt was once ignored by all, because they think a lady P.I. is nothing but too femine. So she decides to create a fictional detective named Remington Steele, and that obviously worked because since then people come into her office asking her to solve cases. But then one day an occasional crook came in initially to rob Laura's stuff just to meet Remington Steele. But when he found out that there is no Remington Steele, and since no one knew his real name, not even himself, he & Laura decides to make himself be Remington Steele. And the rest is history.
