When a client suspects his fiance is cheating on him, he hires bumbling novice detective Vic Nardozza to investigate. But Mitch, the handsome man Vic normally uses to bait women, refuses the case. Vic decides he's sexy enough to handle the assignment himself and works out vigorously at the gym to help entice his target. However, his weakened condition only allows his date to seduce him. When Vic gives his client the bad news, carefully omitting his own participation, the enraged man mistakenly attacks Mitch, believing him to be the lover. Later, when Mitch discovers Vic's indiscretion, he retaliates by pushing Vic out of a window. Meanwhile, voyeuristic fellow sleuth Kevin Blakeley believes that Jack's irritability is a sign that the crusty veteran detective is on the verge of a stroke.

Vic accidentally joins a self-help class that launches him on a quest to simplify his cluttered life--a theory he applies to his current case of industrial espionage.

Vic pursues and captures the clerk, who surrenders himself to the simplicity of prison life. Meanwhile, depressed after conducting a failed seminar on investigations, Brady loses the company payroll at the racetrack. He then assigns each of his detectives to a horse, announcing that the losing horse will determine which of the employees will be terminated.

When Vic suspects that his elderly Aunt Flossie's jewelry is being stolen from her nursing home, he plants hidden cameras to try and catch the thief. But after three days, he has no leads in the case and comes up with a new plan to go undercover as a senior citizen. Brady believes that this would make a good story for "Extra," a television newsmagazine, as well as give the detective agency owner an opportunity to become a Hollywood celebrity by hosting the show. Meanwhile, Jack tries to buy a life insurance policy but is rejected because of his age.

After Vic collects enough incriminating evidence to ruin philandering fight promoter Marcus, he is roughed up by a vengeful Teal - prompting Vic to declare all-out war because "Now it's personal." Vic asks Stacey to get Teal's stripper girlfriend Laurel Canyons to sign a release allowing him to use a surveillance video that would send his enemy to prison, but Stacey is distracted by sexy male stripper Prince Charles.

Vic's nickname ""The Chameleon"" is tested when he goes undercover in a sweatshop staffed by elderly female Chinese immigrants to discover which employees have been stealing the toys.

Vic is hired as a technical consultant by a television detective series and impresses the producers with his creative abilities.

Meanwhile, vengeance-seeking Brady assigns Kevin and Stacey to investigate his former wife's new fiance, but the two sleuths are more interested in their own mutual romantic attraction.
