The Duchess Diamond in Venice to a New York Smuggling Ring
In Venice a Fourth of July celebration ends with Miss Constance Van Wendt's Duchess Diamond missing and a mystery tied to Christopher Poe and Belasco Bowen. Bowen's plan to smuggle the gem aboard a ship backfires as Poe uncovers the plot, then cripples Bowen with a clever sting at quarantine harbor. Bowen is arrested while Poe returns to New York, considering quitting detective work after a tense cross examination.
