Overjoyed with having a cute new pet in her life, sixth-grader Mary starts using puppies to try and spark romance between lonely adults.

13-year-old Sam Steele Jr. forms his own private detective agency to emulate his father, Des Moines detective Sam Steele, and helps track down a jewel thief.

When Sam Steele Junior gets a term paper assignment on a visit by the Soviet Premier to the Midwest in the late 1950s he's less than enthused. But when he learns it may lead to treasure, the Junior Detective Agency is on the adventure of a lifetime.

Sam Steele and his Junior Spy Agency (Sam, Emma and Doug the Dog) are back on assignment after a long summer of solving crimes. Sam’s history class assignment leads him to his first clues in search of a priceless Russian treasure that’s been smuggled into the U.S. Now he and his agency are pitted against Cash (Kevin Sorbo) and a gang of bumbling thieves as they race to recover the treasure before it falls into the wrong hands forever.
