Justin is invited to a weekend party at Barnard's plush English estate, where he learns that his host is simply out to steal his guests' valuable jewels. Justin enlists the help of Barnard's adopted daughter, Murray, to foil the plan, but she ends up getting locked away in the jewel room.
When Barnard tries to make a quick getaway, he ends up being stopped in his tracks by his butler, Balfour, who turns on the grounds' electric current, thus electrocuting his employer. Though highly implausible, this comic caper works in a manner only the British can pull off. The direction and
script are well thought out, providing some neat twists along the way.
