He pulls the strings that cause parts of her costume to fall away. Her troupe arrives in Singapore from Malacca, a town where jewels are missing. Ming Toy's manager Tony hires Smith to recover Babykins, irreplaceable and stolen. But bird in hand, Smith finds Ming Toy performing with an identical parrot.
