The Mystery Team consisting of "Master of Disguise" Jason Rogers (Donald Glover), "Boy Genius" Duncan Wheeler (DC Pierson), and "The Strongest kid in town" Charlie Day (Dominic Dierkes) began with three children who styled themselves as detectives, solving mostly kid-related mysteries such as missing cats or a lost baseball, but also gaining some local fame. Somehow, the trio have remained as naïve as ever, although they are about to graduate from high school. They have continued the same mindset and antics even though they are teenagers, focusing on children's infractions, although adults (such as their parents) wonder when the teens will grow out of this attitude.
To prove to themselves and the town at large that they can be "real detectives", the Mystery Team take it upon themselves to solve a double homicide when they are hired by a young girl named Brianna (Daphne Ciccarelle) to discover why her parents were killed. Although Duncan and Charlie reluctant to help her, Jason convinces them to help to her stating that it is their chance to prove they can be real detectives and earn everyone's respect. Then they meet Brianna's older sister Kelly (Aubrey Plaza), whom Jason becomes attracted to, and tells them let the cops handle it. They ignore her, and go to the local grocery store, where they are told by their Jordy (Bobby Moynihan) that a hobo named Sam know may know something. They given stuff from Kelly's house from Sam and find a card from a local bowling alley with symbol engraved in it. They go to the bowling alley where they meet a clerk who has a grudge against them and refuses to scan the card. However, they spot a guy named Dougie who the card belongs to and see that he's wearing Kelly's ring. They follow Dougie to a local gentlemen's club were a bouncer attempts to throw them out for spying on Dougie and a stripper with him. However, they escape from the bouncer and Jason overhears Dougie saying that someone named Leroy gave him Kelly's ring and the ring is now in the stripper's vagina. He, Duncan and Charlie then retrieve the ring from the toilet the stripper urinated it into and escape from the gentlemen's club before the bouncer catches them.
