The third entry in the Baer/Rosenbloom series has the title characters as detectives, again, who are hired by an eccentric, nervous collector Mr. Bentley (Emil Sitka) to guard his antique collection from a gang of crooks who caught wind of his recent discoveries, but their assignment is complicated by Bentley's pretty secretary (Jean Willes), who is actually working with the crooks to steal it and poisons the detectives' drinks to knock them out.
When former prizefighters Max Baer and Max "Slapsie" Rosenbloom were teamed up to star in two-reel comedy shorts, it became quite obvious Columbia Pictures was desperately seeking out a new comedy team. The ex-pugilists starred in 4 short-subjects between 1950 and 1952, and today, they remain obscure little films which were probably forgotten shortly after their initial release.
Max and Maxie run a detective agency. A rich collector (Sitka) wants them to guard his possessions.
