This time he gets in more trouble than even pessimistic Jeff could dream of, the latter of course is dragged along into the vortex of mischief with its incidental uproarious mix-ups. Goldstein's pawnshop is visited by two mysterious strangers, who cleverly vanish with a good assortment of watches, diamonds and miscellaneous jewelry. The police are called in to apprehend the burglars; but nothing substantial is accomplished. The investigation, however, brings out the fact that one of the "crooks" is tall and thin, while the other is exceedingly short and stout. Goldstein is in despair; with him every second lost means a great deal; he's not thirsting for vengeance alone, vengeance being but a secondary matter. He wants his property back; time is therefore, precious to Goldstein. Accordingly, he offers a reward for the apprehension of the thieves. Here's a fine chance to make some easy money, thinks always-on-the-job Mutt. Why not get on the scent and earn an honest cent? Why not? Echoes little Jeff. Mutt and Jeff as detectives, are more than a scream. They get in all sorts of mishaps, but Fate is with them, and they always manage to get out until, well, until they get "pinched" at the mysterious Goldstein robbers. In a flash, fame and fortune dissipate like mist before the sun, and though the real culprits are finally caught and "get theirs." Mutt and Jeff firmly decide to leave sleuthing alone.
