Two con men sell Slam and Shorty tickets to a charity ball. When the detectives arrive for the ball, they find out that the tickets were fake. Slam tracks the con men to a novelty store, but the crooks incapacitate him. Slam and Shorty escape from danger, but the crooks get away. Slam then attempts to bring a police officer to the novelty store, but the crooks have altered the store front. Slam is discredited. After the officer leaves, Slam discovers the con men in the back of the shop. This time he and Shorty dispose of the crooks. He then forces the crooks to return their ill-gotten loot. After the victims are paid back, the crooks are broke and can't pay Slam and Shorty back their money.
