He teams up with an insurance man who gives him a list of people with expensive jewels. First on the list is Jessie Stevens and her daughter Frances (Grace Kelly) who is bored and looking for excitement. When Robie shows up, she latches onto him and at about the same time falls for him, learns he's the cat and becomes convinced that he's committing the crimes.
