In order to support the music school where he learned to sing and to develop it into a conservatory , he wants to sell his share in the department store. This is trying to prevent Mr. Grover, the manager and fiancé of Martha Phelps, Tommy's aunt, because the balance sheets are curled up. He hires various men to get him out of the way. Detective Wolf J. Flywheel and the two brothers Ravelli and Wacky know how to prevent this. Eventually they catch Mr. Grover and put him behind bars.
