 Lt. Frank Drebbin returns to save the day once again. This time he s out to foil the "big boys" in the energy business. A top scientist (Dr Mainheimer) is about to publish his report on energy supply for the future. Things don t look good for the traditional suppliers; oil, coal and nuclear. To save their industries, the suppliers kidnap Mainheimer and replace him with a decoy with a more favourable report. Jane, the Dr s secretary, is Drebbin s old flame; they re passionate love affair is thus rekindled.
