Harry is a clever art thief who really possesses genius as a painter. A tattoo mark on his hand arouses Mona's suspicions as to his identity and the girls follow him to the Art Gallery. Harry, posing as a serious art student, is engaged in painting a copy of the famous Monna Vanna. The girls later follow him to the store of Melnotte, a crooked art dealer, and they are convinced that some sinister plan is afoot. Mary uses a clever ruse to secure employment in Melnotte's store, while Mona keeps her eye on Harry. The girls have their finger in the pie therefore when Monna Vanna is stolen and an old copy substituted, while the conspirators arrange to sell the original to a wealthy art patron. By clever wits that keep the girls always a step in advance of the plotters, they succeed both in securing the large reward offered for the return of the Monna Vanna and in bringing Melnotte and Harry to justice.
