A new client demands confidentiality regarding a murder case. The ever flippant Richard has his exercise routine on his stationary bike cut short, when his client says the murder hasn’t been done yet. Locked in his closet for safe keeping, the client gets away. Never fear, when Richard gets out, he is met with another gun toting client, and his best gal, Helen. A yoyo trick isn’t enough to get the little man to talk, and he gets away.

After waking from a thump on the head, Richard finds his policeman pal, Walt hovering over him. at headquarters Richard compares notes, and looks through mug shots to try to identify the characters in his office. Richard knows a sketch artist who might be able to draw a mugshot from a description. Armed with Vladamir’s drawing, Richard takes it to all the newspapers.

All Richard gets for his efforts are gunshots sent his way. It’s enough to make him want to punch the next little person he comes across. Will he get any closer by going to Helen’s party? He now knows his Mann is John Blackwell, but can he act fast enough to stop a murder by the little guy known as big man?
