Maddie and David have been working together at Blue Moon for a year, and it is the agency's anniversary. David uses the occasion to ask Maddie for a raise, which she declines, saying that he has "never solved a case". David insists that he's solved lots of cases, and Maddie responds that their cases "somehow seem to have worked themselves out".
Later that evening, while David is alone in the office, he receives a visit from Toby, a prostitute with a client named Jerry who talks in his sleep. It happens that Jerry is connected with organized crime, and talks about murders and other crimes that are about to happen. David and Toby make a deal: if she'll tell David what Jerry tells her, David will report the crimes to the police and split the reward money with her.
Soon, Blue Moon's telephones are ringing off the hook. Newspaper reporters are in the office around the clock. The police chief calls, congratulating David for solving their case. The mayor's office calls, offering him a job with the District Attorney's office. A television studio calls, offering to make a television series about him. ("I don't know," he says. "I think people have had enough of detective shows." And everyone in the office agrees.)
The whole scheme works wonderfully for David – he has Maddie believing that he's the best detective in the world – until Jerry tells Toby that David is the next one to be murdered....
