St. John's is struck with a rash of incidents of youngsters OCing (Over Chipping - i.e. eating so many chips that they die). While most people think of the issue as a public health concern, the Brotherhood of the Batter, the cartel of local fish and chips dealers, know otherwise. The problem chips aren't coming from them. Actually, they are hardly selling any chips these days. Someone is selling tainted contraband chips to the youth of St. John's.
To get to the bottom of the problem and to restore their past sales, the Brotherhood of the Batter president, Scamper, hires the Doyles to find the source of the blackmarket fi and chi. With every passing day the Doyles take to crack the case more youngsters fall victim to the OCing epidemic.
Eventually the Doyles realize that the case is too big for them and they are forced bring in a few other PI's from St. John's and the surrounding area. Randy LeDrew, a PI known for his aggressive physical tactics, agrees to help, but only on the condition that he gets to 'interrogate' the culprit as soon as they catch him. Ms. Smalls, Bay Bulls' brassiest lady PI, insists on bringing along her mindless sack of mussle, Beef. Finally, Carbonear's own Jerry Andrews (the long-lost brother of Duane and Curtis Andrews) agrees to help only if his brothers are allowed to follow him around as a backing band.
