Verspermann is an eccentric inventor who invents a radio-television device that, unfortunately, doesn't work! Piel is the suave con-man who convinces him to carry on, in spite of his failures. When a freak accident happens, Piel reconnects the device in a way that miraculously not only cures the device's technical glitches, but somehow endows it with the ability to see through any object and project the image onto it's television screen.
