Sam is hired to protect the gifts at Ralph Rushlight’s wedding, including the priceless Rushlight Diamond. The smooth cut diamond, only slightly smaller than an eight ball, is supposed to bring bad luck. Carrying it downstairs, a mirror breaks in the hall as he passes it, he falls all the way down the stairs, and knocks over a punchbowl when he enters the ballroom. Bad luck?
After the ceremony the bride swipes the diamond and runs out the door. After a short chase, the groom is found stabbed to death with a pair of garden shears, the diamond clutched in his hand. Bad luck indeed.
When the runaway bride shows up at Sam’s office looking for her diamond, things really get interesting.
The cast includes Howard Duff as Sam, Sandra Gould as Bernadine, Sam’s temporary secretary and Joseph Kearns as Colonel Bixby.
