Ted Lomax, a wealthy businessman, brings the Tuckers in to track down his wife after she goes missing from their lake house.

After some suspicious behavior and circumstantial evidence mount up against the young caretaker Gary, the case seems to be pretty cut and dry. However, an offhand comment by Ted about the boat Gloria was last seen on sparks some doubt in the Tuckers they can't ignore. Soon it becomes clear that Gary has been framed, and that Ted might be the one who framed him.
