Both are searched, but nothing is found. They have seen in a magazine a picture of a famous judge who has convicted a gang of smugglers. Fred arrives home and meets the judge, and is much alarmed. Mary West spends the week with Mrs. Rayo, and she also meets the judge. Fred has invited six of his college chums, also suspected of being smugglers, to spend the week with him. While at dinner Inspector McCrowan is announced. Mary discovers in her grip a ruby necklace which she cannot account for and which she leaves on the piano. It is found by Fred, who leaves with it. Fred throws the necklace away and it is discovered by the butler, who starts to wrap it up in a sheet of music. In the meantime Mary runs away, losing her shoe, which is found by Fred. The butler has the necklace wrapped up in the music. Fred wraps the shoe, and calls the butler, who in the meantime has hidden the necklace in back of the piano. Fred sends him to Mary with the shoe, but before he has a chance to obey he is sent out of the room by Mrs. Rayo. A sneak thief finds the necklace back of the piano. Fred discovers him, takes the package and sends the necklace (thinking it is Mary's shoe) to Mary's room. The thief meets the butler outside, and thinking he has the package which contains the necklace, takes it away from him. Mary again receives the necklace. The thief discovers that it contains only a shoe and throws it away. Mary, finding no place to hide the necklace, places it in Fred's hands. Fred lays it on the table and sits on it. His friends are very much worried about the inspector, and tell Fred they are going to beat it. Fred jumps up from the table, but cannot find the necklace, as it is stuck to his coat. He leaves the room, not knowing it is there. As they are running for a car they hear a cry from Mrs. Rayo, saying she has lost her necklace. They all run back and help her search. Fred's coat has been torn and he gives it to Mary to mend. She discovers the necklace and throws it out of the window, where it is discovered by a servant, who in turn hands it over to another servant, until it reaches the hands of a maid, and she puts it on a dog. The Inspector accuses Mrs. Rayo of smuggling a valuable necklace, but she clears herself. They discover the man who placed it on the dog, and peace is once more restored to the house.
