Series Premiere. Unemployed and unattached, Tom Chadwick is surprised when he's bequeathed an old chest of curios by his great-aunt Victoria, who he and his sister Bea don't remember ever meeting. He finds an old black-and-white photo in the chest that his father Keith believes is Tom's great-grandfather, Harry. With the help of his avuncular neighbor, Mr. Pfister, and his old school friend, Pete, Tom tracks down a rather unusual expert in the field of antique photos called Neville St. Aubrey, who discovers some very intriguing and revealing information about Tom's ancestor. Meanwhile, Pete tries to get Tom's love life back on track by setting him up with a 'model pretty' date. He's just not sure what kind of model.

Season One Finale. On their last day in California, Bea, Monk and Pete hit the beach while Tom, accompanied by Ally, meets Tom's distant cousin Melvin Schmelff, whose grandfather was a famous silent-movie cowboy star called Tumbleweed Tim. As Melvin shows them some classic Hollywood history, Tom gets a panicked phone call from Bea...Monk has gone missing at the beach! Tom, Ally, Bea, Pete and Melvin form a search party to find Monk, but Venice Beach is no place for a monkey puppet to get lost. Later, Al and Kitty throw a farewell party for Tom, which leads to the discovery of some more dark secrets...and a turning point in Tom's relationship with Ally.
