Plot

Lester March is a 25-year-old orphan who is an electronics repairman. However, his real passion is detective novels, and he dreams of becoming a detective himself someday. His best friend, Pete Flint, is a detective, and they see a television program about a wealthy, single woman, Cecilia Albright who is looking for her long-lost nephew. The mention of a $100,000 reward gains their attention.

Flint allows March to join him in sneaking into the Albright mansion in hopes of solving the mystery and collecting the reward. During their break-in, Albright's lawyer sees them and recognizes March as being the long-lost nephew, Charles Albright, Jr. The lawyer was responsible for Charles Albright, Sr.'s death, and his plan is to marry Cecilia and kill her to inherit the entire fortune. With the help of the butler, they plan to kill March so he does not interfere with that plan.

The family nurse, Wanda Paxton discovers March's identity and falls in love with him. The lawyer's plans are foiled, March's identity is revealed, and Paxton and March are married.
