Plot

Sach has lost his job as an assistant to a private detective, but he was not paid. Slip accompanies Sach to the detective's office to demand payment but finds the office empty. A woman enters the office and mistakes Slip for the detective. She convinces him to find her sister after offering a $50 retainer.

The only help that Sach and Slip have is the spiritualist Dr. Carter. They witness his murder, and Slip is knocked unconscious. When he wakes, a woman is there calling the police. Slip identifies her as the other woman's sister, but she denies it. After asking questions, Slip believes the woman is not the other one's sister and they assist each other in escaping the police and make plans to meet later.

Slip and Sach visit the fortune teller Armand and learn that the two women are not related; instead, the women both want to take possession of incriminating letters that Armand uses to blackmail them. There is a fight at a sweet shop and the police arrest Armand and his gang.
