When she unwittingly witnesses a burglary, Agnes is determined to expose the well-known citizen as the art thief. Go with Agnes from city hall to the hot seat at Newbury's Police Department, and finally to a San Francisco mansion as she pursues the art theft culprits in a shocking conspiracy at the highest levels of Newbury's elite society.
