Such Jim Phelps, the Gadget inspector goes in a place pain-killer to recover paper containing his order of mission. This one is given to him in clean hands by its person in charge, the Gontier Chief, always disguised or hidden in a narrow object. Gadget reads with high voice its order always finishing by the sentence “this message car-will be destroyed…” and gives again paper with Gontier, which, inserted in its hiding-place, can nothing make and receives the explosion in full face.

Gadget returns at his place, and explains to his/her Sophie niece why it must leave and cannot take it along. Worry, this one asks has Finot the dog of the family, to follow Gadget, and itself manages to be able to follow it by far.

Arrived on the ground, Gadget is mistaken people: Finot is besides generally the first marked one. (he is not recognized in spite of its disguise seldom more sophisticated than a hat and impermeable)

During this time, Doctor Gang seeks by all the means to kill Gadget, thanks to the whole of his agents, to which Gadget generally grants all its confidence.

It is finally Sophie who, thanks to her deliver-computer and with the indications of Finot, ends up solving the business and to call the reinforcements to stop the gangsters.

At the end of the episode, Gadget is then congratulated by the Gontier Chief, then coward a sentence of the type “it is odd, the criminal whom you have just stopped resembles to the nice grandfather much with which I spent the day”, which makes laugh Sophie and Finot. Since his office or his vehicle, Doctor Gang promises to be avenged.
