A wolf pounces on a border guard after he says something to it. The CCTV grab is without audio and it is up to Balderdash Burphy to find out what the guard said before he was killed. Does he succeed in uncovering the motive of the strange case?

It is a relatively calm day in the office. Burphy is in a good mood and is having a profoundly nonsensical conversation with Kiran and Chowkilal when a phone call sends them on yet another wild goose chase. And this time, Burphy can't do it alone and drafts in another whacky character to be, er, another sidekick. Together, can they solve the case? Can they unknot that which needs to be, so the complainant can tie the knot? Will Burphy live up to his reputation as the greatest Law Enforcement Officer?
