The story begins with the theft of a valuable painting from the local museum, and it's not long before Koko, the smarter of the two cats, begins to show an unusual interest in the case. With the help of their owner, journalist Jim Qwilleran, Koko and Yum Yum follow a trail of clues that leads them to a group of shady characters, each with their own motive for wanting the painting.
