Brotherly Murder Case
A man pretends to be someone's brother so he can get part of a $250,000 inheritance left by their dead father. When the real brother and the fake brother show up to claim the money, things get messy. Philo Vance tries to step in and stop the fight by announcing who he is. But the other guy doesn't care and tells him, "I don't care if you're Dick Tracy!" - basically saying that Philo's name doesn't matter to him.
Philo Vance is a fictional amateur detective originally featured in 12 crime novels by S. S. Van Dine in the 1920s and '30s. During that time, Vance was immensely popular in books, films, and radio. He was portrayed as a stylish—even foppish—dandy, a New York bon vivant possessing a highly intellectual bent. S. S. Van Dine was the pen name of Willard Huntington Wright, an art critic who initially sought to conceal his authorship of the novels. Van Dine was also a fictional character in the books, a sort of Dr. Watson figure who accompanied Vance and chronicled his exploits.
