Six Superior Skirts
Fri, Oct 16, 195946 mins
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deemed insulin shock, Halevy notices that the Morfield diamond necklace she was wearing, it valued at $100,000, has been replaced by a fake.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.

The Treehouse Caper
Fri, Nov 13, 195947 mins
Jeff brushes off Gil's warning that Shorty Adams, who Jeff helped put behind bars five years ago and vowed revenge if he ever had the opportunity, has escaped from prison as yet another person who has said as much in the heat of the moment of the time but has not carried through. Gil and Jeff are both somewhat right and somewhat wrong in that Shorty, mortally wounded from the escape, does come looking for Jeff and holds him at gunpoint, but solely to give Jeff some information and make sure he stays to listen before Shorty dies of his injuries. Shorty admits to being involved in another $250,000 diamond heist with Lennie Paris, who was always suspected but who was never caught and is now in hiding, and the diamonds never recovered. To get back at Lennie for double crossing him, Shorty hid the diamonds before he went to prison. He tells Jeff where the diamonds are hidden solely so that Jeff will recover and return the diamonds and split the reward money with Shorty's daughter, Vicky, so as to provide for her future. In speaking to Gil about the issue, the two agree to work together, with Jeff's goal being to recover the diamonds - he on retainer anyway for the insurance company - and Gil's goal to nab Lennie Paris, he hoping that Jeff's "public" knowledge of where the diamonds are which will act as the carrot to bring Lennie into the open. In speaking to the insurance company, Jeff is able to negotiate a deal for that reward. Jeff finds that time changes landmarks, the diamonds location which he is unsure. The one person who would probably know where that old landmark was is Vicky herself, she who was ultimately put into foster care in Chicago after Shorty's incarceration and who is probably now in her early teens by Shorty's description. As such, Jeff decides to bring Vicky to Los Angeles for her assistance. In meeting Vicky who is nothing as expected, Gil thinks she could be of more use in bringing Lennie out into the open. Vicky's own memory may be unclear in a past she has neither thought about and may have actually tried to forget. But there may be other factors at play giving Jeff as much grief in recovering the diamonds than appear on the surface.

One of the men in Stuart's company at the time, Staff Sgt. Tom Handeman, was in charge of locating one of those scientists, August Redding, who he found dead. Tom, who deserted in 1946, apparently stole Redding's plans for a long range missile guidance system, which at the time was not of any use militarily. Handeman, who has come out of hiding in Frankfurt, is willing to sell the now invaluable plans to the US, and will only deal with Stuart in knowing and trusting him. It will be a cloak and dagger operation as Stuart knows Tom will not want to meet in the open, and Stuart has to have the documents authenticated in some way before making final payment. Once in Frankfurt, Stuart finds he has unexpected support on the ground in the form of Maj. George Haney with British Intelligence, and Gerda Nissen, one of Haney's agents who will act as Stuart's point person if he does require any assistance from them. Stuart learns from Gerda that an organization led by Hans Rausche, a former colonel with the Gestapo, is also after the plans and will kill Stuart to get them, Rausche knowing of Stuart being in West Germany.

With the evidence on hand, her friend, Assistant District Attorney Page Donalson, as her friend and not a public prosecutor, wants her to plead guilty to mercy killing instead of pleading not guilty and possibly being convicted of the more serious crime of murder, carrying with it a death sentence. Her own lawyer recommends the same. Referred to her by Dr. McKage, Jonathan's physician and a mutual friend, Mary, firing her attorney, hires Stuart to prove her innocence and find who did kill her husband.

While other former movie associates have ended up working for J. Cedric in his personal life, the others invited are primarily other associates still active in the movie business: Hollywood legend Clara Moore, who starred in every one of his pictures; brooding New York method actor Walter Legal, who, despite also appearing in many of his later movies, considered J. Cedric a hypocrite; Walter's sister Amelia Legal, whose life is controlled by Walter; and costume designer Robin Wells and his wife Lynn Wells, the pair who spend all their income to consume vast quantities of alcohol. One unexpected attendee forced to stay at the mansion out of circumstance is Suzanne. The nature of the side will: J. Cedric has left different sets of movie related clues for each of them - the Wells working as a pair, Jeff to help James, and Suzanne who ends up helping Amelia - as to the combination of his wall safe, the one or pair who is able to figure out the combination to the safe to get an additional $1 million, winner take all. If no one figures it out within six hours, the money will be donated to J. Cedric's favorite charities instead. After the end of the contest, J. Cedric, in another prerecorded message, will explain his rationale in having this side will with these specific people involved. In addition to using his investigative skills to help James, Jeff may have to change his focus when it seems that someone is trying to kill the contest participants, arguably to get to the $1 million in a different way.

Beyond the coroner's ruling, the Connors hire Jeff as they have just received a letter from Jimmy, indeed in his handwriting, postmarked ten days after his death, the letter dated the day of his death. The letter states that he will probably be leaving school with more information to follow.
