Synopsis by Hal Erickson
When not appearing in the films directed by their boss Cecil B. DeMille, Rod LaRocque and Elinor Fair were kept busy in such DeMille-produced programmers as Bachelor Brides. About to be wed to titled Englishman LaRocque, the fair Fair is thrown into a panic when her family jewels are stolen. All the suspects are forced to spend the night in Fair's mansion by an outsized rainstorm, allowing LaRocque time aplenty to figure out the identity of the thief. He is "helped" by a pair of dimwitted detectives, who make Laurel and Hardy look like Rhodes scholars. And no, the butler didn't do it.
