Two young men start a private detective agency. A client asks them to find his mistress’s missing dog, which vanished while she worked as a dancer at a hotel. Failing to locate it, they substitute a similar dog and send one of them, disguised as the dog, to the hotel. There he discovers a money‑stealing gang among the staff, assumes a false identity, and works to expose them.
