Devoted daughter Ranie Racine seeks to clear her father's name and find his killer. She knows it must be someone who crashed the party. Quite possibly the enigmatic playboy Paul de Brack (Niven). With the help of an opportunistic diamond merchant, she disguises herself as a Spanish marquesa and starts chasing clues to the casinos of Monte Carlo and on to England.
