Fourteen year old girl Molly McCue delights in little else but detective stories and imagines herself as sidekick of a fictional private eye. When Molly's grandmother is victimized by burglars who steal an urn containing ashes of her recently deceased husband, young Molly begins to probe about the crime scene, irritating a New York City detective assigned to the case. Jack Welder (Paul Sorvino), does not appreciate interference from the amateur sleuth whose mind is swimming with theories.

In company with a young friend, Molly visits (in disguise) the funeral home where her grandfather was cremated, and discovers that there may be a connection between the burglary and a highly-publicized theft of an ancient Chinese urn, valued at three million dollars. When her grandmother reports receiving a ransom request for $10,000 to regain her spouse's ashes, Welder and Molly become an unofficial detective team as the veteran policeman becomes energized over an assignment where recovery of the Chinese relic would be the highlight of his long career.
