Amateur detectives Johnny Fletcher and Sam Cragg are up to their necks in back bills, madly trying to parlay bank accounts, rubber checks and pawn tickets into cold, lovely, welcome cash. With their luck running true to form, they hit a loaded jackpot. They're called in to solve a murder in the very hotel from which they are in danger of being evicted.
