The Detonation Squad story follows the Midtown Squad's investigation into a jewelry theft ring operating in nightclubs, with undercover operative Donovan infiltrating the criminals' circle to gather intelligence on their operation. Detective work reveals that the criminals are connected to a man named Gibson, recently released from prison, who is suspected of planning illegal activities. The narrative involves surveillance of suspects, a connection to a man named Roswell Burton, and reference to a search warrant as the authorities close in on the criminal enterprise.

A bank manager's lavish lifestyle catches the eye of two detectives investigating a mysterious theft, leading them to uncover an elaborate scheme involving a phony name, a rooming house, and the U.S. mail. When a second robbery hits the same bank, the officers set a trap that finally brings the criminal to justice. Police work, patience, and careful detective work prove that no scheme—no matter how clever—can outsmart the law.
