A pair of private detectives bicker their way through an investigation.

Amateur filmmaker, cinema historian and railway engineer H.A.V. Bulleid presents this comedy of two bumbling sleuths bickering their way through an investigation. When the venerable, one-armed Dr Claudius Bombarnoc drops an important document, it is seized upon by the villainous Michel Despard. Giving chase, the doctor literally trips over the hapless duo from the Messrs Make and Break Detective Agency. Employed by the doctor, they trace the villain to the local hospital where they finally have him cornered. But can they work together long enough to capture him, or will their constant bickering hinder the investigation?
