Description: Marcella Manners has built her fashion business into one of the most successful and exclusive in New York. But, as the play begins, she is distressed by a recurring series of robberies, all committed in such a way that only an "insider" could be responsible. To avoid unwanted publicity Miss Manners engages a private detective, Kitty Hawke, to track down the culprit. Posing as an efficiency expert Kitty circulates throughout the store and eventually narrows her surveillance down to two young models, Betty McCleary and Eileen Stuart. Then Betty is caught red-handed with a supposedly stolen dress. But, as the audience is already aware, the real thief is still at large-Miss Manners' trusted, long-time associate and friend, Audrey Ames. In a final, dramatic confrontation, Audrey, breaking down, admits that years of accumulated jealousy and frustration had led her to act as she did. As the play ends all are sadder but wiser and, to ease the course of true love, Betty is allowed to borrow the dress that, only moments before, had induced such doubts of her own honesty.
