Synopsis:
Police call Slam Bradley for help investigate a bizarre robbery on the upper floors of a tall building. Slam deduces that the bandit scaled the outside of the building and entered through the window. Snoop Dolan, a amateur detective who want to be Slam’s assistant, tells Slam he can locate the Human Fly. Suspicious, Shorty follows Dolan and lands them both in a trap. The Human Fly then tries to kill Slam, but Shorty warns him in time. Slam then chases the bandit up the side of a building. The crook finally surrenders after Slam saves him from a near-fatal fall.
