Nancy's friend Emily is coming into an inheritance of the Crandall family jewels. Unfortunately, the jewels are stolen when Emily's careless guardian stops at Lilac Inn for lunch with the jewels in her handbag.
Of course, Nancy solves the mystery and recovers the jewels, but she solves it more through her prejudice and snobbery than by following clues.
Racism alert: Nancy is interviewing potential servants, a colored woman, an Irish woman, a Scottish lassie, and a dark-complexioned girl who stared at Nancy almost impudently.
