A high end charity fundraiser is being held at Dino's, the private event being televised to bring further publicity. Among the highlights are the six young socialites chosen from around the country to model a total of $1 million dollars worth of jewels being loaned by jeweler, Halevy. Stuart has been hired by the insurance company to oversee the security of the jewels. After the organizers deal with a medical incident where "Miss Boston" Laura Stanley, a diabetic, goes into what is eventually deemed insulin shock, Halevy notices that the Morfield diamond necklace she was wearing, it valued at $100,000, has been replaced by a fake. The incident occurred when Stuart was dealing with another issue in the main room, namely throwing out known jewel thief, Phil Ashton. Halevy eventually receives a ransom request to pay the $100,000 after what would be the end of the charity event for return of the diamond, which may be a more palatable option to the insurance company than they paying the insured $300,000 value. The theft could have been done by any one of the dozen or so people in the room, with Stuart partly relying on Kookie, as one in the room, to provide an accurate eyewitness account. While Gil knows that whoever stole the diamond is working on Ashton's behalf, Stuart believes the diamond is still on site somewhere and that the six socialites are probably not involved, not even Miss Stanley, as $100,000 is mere pocket change for any of their families. But with unwitting assistance by one of the socialites in her knowledge of jewelry and getting the answer to three further technical questions, Stuart may discover the nature of the plot, including who the inside person is and where the diamond is located.
