Lou Lasalle is the owner of a large, successful detective agency in town, and he wants to buy Blue Moon from Maddie. His offer is very attractive to her, but because it leaves David out in the cold, he isn't happy.
Meanwhile, Thornton Wellman is the owner of a very large business, and much of his office equipment has just been stolen, including in particular some very valuable phone numbers to clients, business contacts, and other important persons. Wellman's executive secretary is a man named Phil West, who is sure that he is going to lose his job with Wellman over the theft of the Rolodex.
David learns that Lou Lasalle is the securities agency for Thornton Wellman, and he plans with West to recover the stolen Rolodex. David is planning to start his own detective agency once Blue Moon is sold to Lasalle, and he believes that he can get the Wellman account away from Lasalle if he can get the Rolodex back. The trail that leads to the Rolodex leads them to the city dump, but they finally recover it.
But West decides not to go back to work for Wellman. Instead, he holds the Rolodex hostage and sends Wellman an anonymous ransom demand. Meanwhile, Maddie realizes that she has made a mistake in selling Blue Moon, and she comes to David and asks to work for him at his new agency. Together they find West, and persuade him to take credit for getting the Rolodex back from fictional criminals, and thereby negotiate a higher paying, more prestigious position with Wellman.
West agrees, and they return to Wellman's office, but before they arrive, they meet Lasalle, who is scared that Dave and Maddie will get the Wellman account from him, and he offers Blue Moon back to her in return for letting him take credit for helping West find the Rolodex. Maddie doesn't want to accept, but David insists.
