He's wasted half his life in a dead end job and now he is determined to follow his boyhood dream of becoming a private detective. Has he had any training? Has he heck, but he knows he will be good! Along with his nephew Jackson who was also a waster at school, they pool their talents and start out small trying to solve the mystery of Mrs. Boggins' kidnapped cat.
