Slam and Shorty follow a diamond thief known as the Weasel aboard a ship. When they are caught by the crew, they can't prove they are detectives, so the boys are put to work.

When the ship reaches an island in the South Seas, Slam sees the Weasel swimming ashore. Slam and Shorty follow the thief, but they are soon captured by island natives. The Weasel has disguised himself as the tribal medicine man. Shorty tricks the natives into thinking he has powerful magic. The natives release the detectives and allow them to apprehend the Weasel.
