Who Done It? Short Take
The Stooges are hired as detectives to protect John Goodrich from the Phantom Gang, but are tied up by robbers, causing them to be an hour late. Before they arrive, Goodrich is snatched by the Goon, a member of the Gang. When the Stooges finally arrive and begin searching the house, they uncover the gang and the chase is on.

Who Done It? Trivia
In an issue of the Emil Sitka Fan Club publication The Fourth Stooge, Emil’s diary reveals that while Columbia provided costumes for its actors, it did not provide footwear. Emil could not afford to have his only pair of dress shoes resoled, and in the closing scene, you can see that ‘Councilman Goodrich’ has a hole in his right shoe.
