The episode opens with Olive and Otto on a stakeout waiting to catch a notorious thief, only to be distracted by a mysterious woman who walks by them.

As the investigation continues, a new odd squad team member named Oscar joins the case. Oscar is portrayed as a computer-savvy agent who is not familiar with the traditional investigation methods. He tries to help the team by creating an algorithm to track down the stolen letters, but his new approach proves to be confusing for the team. They end up creating an elaborate plan to capture the thief that involves Oscar's algorithm and a fake cipher they create to engage the thief in a high-stakes game of wit.
As the team follows the lead, they discover a secret room where the old woman has been hoarding the stolen "O's". In this room, they find a machine that converts the missing letters into gold bars. The team finds out that the old woman is doing this to fund her retirement. After resolving the case, they learn that the old lady is not to be feared, that she didn't mean any harm, and that she just wanted to enjoy her well-deserved retirement peacefully.
The episode is fun, exciting, and educational, with a subtle lesson about neglecting the elderly.
