The Cat is a detective hired as a bodyguard for Smiling Ed Solvent in order to ensure that the Ed Solvent Show makes its appearance on time (on the P.D.Q Network). The idea is to freeze Ed in a block of ice to prevent his kidnapping by another network and thaw him out just before the show. Gangsters steal Ed, block of ice and all. The Cat earns his money, though, and the show goes on.
