The Duchess Diamond in Venice and New York
In a Venice Fourth of July parade gone wrong, Miss Constance Van Wendt loses the Duchess Diamond. Christopher Poe, a banker-detective, suspects Belasco Bowen and tracks him through Naples and aboard a New York bound liner. Poe exposes Bowen at quarantine in New York, recovering the diamond and arresting the smuggler.
