You are Hatch, a reporter covering Stuyvesant Randolph's masked ball, where a costumed 'burglar' with a revolver escapes with eleven gold pieces and a masked Girl of the West. The trail tangles with a missing couple, a wounded man no doctor will name, and plate that reappears only to be stolen again — this time with three pieces never owned by Randolph. You bring the contradictions to Professor Van Dusen, who wants arithmetic before accusation, and one more look at Dorothy's jewel casket before he says who stole what.
