“A Ritz is afraid of nothing ... but ... THIS ... IS ... SOMETHING!”

Garrity (Jimmy Ritz), Harrigan (Harry Ritz) and Mulligan (Al Ritz) are a detective trio who badly want a real case, and a lawyer threatened by a killer gorilla finally hires them as bodyguards. Allan Dwan sets them loose in a house of suspects, with Norma Denby (Anita Louise), a young heiress, in danger.
