It preserves a light, period tone.
Louise becomes Mrs Hazard's secretary of frivolous affairs guiding Hap Hazard and Laura Hazard through social intrigues. A jewel theft and a museum gallery debate unfold as Winthrop Abbott is linked to the crime, Natalie accuses Louise, Hap proclaims love, and Jo arrives to add tension amid gallery curiosity.
In a tense scene at a country home, Hap insures priceless Van Dyke paintings and a card room opens easily. Natalie faints during a disturbance as Jo and others tend to her while a suspected thief, possibly a woman, looms in the unfolding drama.

A sudden electric light exposes Miss Codman as the intruder scene climaxes with a plunge into darkness.
