After a blunt nose‑to‑nose assault, Sach discovers he can read minds. He teams up with Slip and their quirky crew to launch a private‑investigation firm, hoping to profit from Sach’s new ability. Their first case sends them after a missing blonde wearing mink, while they contend with a pair of clueless, over‑zealous “hawkshaws” who complicate the hunt. The film blends slapstick humor with a tongue‑in‑cheek detective romp.
