John Mannering, once a master jewel thief known as the Baron, is now the respected, and respectable, proprietor of Quinn's, an antique shop for the connoisseur. When a fabulous treasure trove of George III silver is discovered in an abandoned building, Mannering is the natural choice to inspect and appraise it. The night that the silver arrives at Quinn's, however, the store receives an unexpected royal visitor-in the person of a very nervous young Prince Hamid of Taria-who asks Mannering's help in finding and recovering the fabled royal treasure of Taria, smuggled out of the small island nation years before.
