** BobDylan's "Maggie's Farm" gets referenced by Nick as the show returns from commercial:
--->''I had a head full of ideas that were driving me insane, and a mouthful of...cotton candy?!?''

Compared to other Firesign Theatre pieces, the story is relatively straightforward--but ''relatively'' is the operative term here. PrivateDetective Nick Danger, Third Eye (voiced by Phil Austin) is sitting in his office, listening to "the monotonous staccato of rain on my desktop", when he is approached by a suspicious little man, Rocky Roccoco (a PeterLorre expy, voiced by Phil Proctor), who wants to sell him what Nick describes as "a two-bit ring from a Cracker Back Jox", and mentions a woman with many names, including Betty Jo Bialosky.

"The Further Adventures of Nick Danger" is a long track from Creator/TheFiresignTheatre's album ''How Can You Be in Two Place at Once, When You're Not Anywhere at All?'', which took up the entire second side of the original vinyl release. A parody of the HardboiledDetective and FilmNoir, as well as old-timey {{Radio}} shows, it remains one of their most popular works.

PrivateDetective Nick Danger, Third Eye (voiced by Phil Austin) is approached by a suspicious little man, Rocky Roccoco (a PeterLorre expy), who wants to find a woman with many names, including Betty Jo Bialosky (but "[[ShoutOut everyone knew her as]] [[Music/TheBeatles Nancy]]"). Nick recognizes that last name as an old college sweetheart, and later decides to look her up. When he does, she asks for his help. ("I don't know what prompted you to get in touch with me, but you called just in the nick of time!" "You haven't lost your delicate sense of humor, have you, Nancy?" "What?"). Along the way, Nick's footsteps are dogged by the obstructive police detective, Sergeant ("Lieutenant!") Bradshaw.
