Wendell Peasbody wants to be a private investigator, and along with his best friend Podge spend their days hunting for mysteries to be solved. Wendell is not a particularly good investigator and real mysteries are quite difficult to find, so you can imagine how excited he is when he stumbles on a real mystery.
While waiting for his friend Podge, Wendell enters his local sweet shop and encounters a man acting suspiciously. With a swarthy villain, creepy forests and plenty of junk food, Wendell and Podge have their work cut out to find the truth.
