The Ranee of Rajputana
Description
Socialite Mrs. MacNiece calls on her investment counselor, the brilliant Leander Garrison, and demands he return her $2 million. She accuses him of being a common thief, because the night before during a party at her apartment she saw him put a small statue in his pocket. The statue is of the Ranee of Rajputana, the Queen of Thieves. Later, the statue comes to life and points out to the penniless Garrison that the only way he can settle with Mrs. MacNiece is to kill her.
A copper figurine of the Indian "Queen of Thieves" traps an deceitful, mischievous stockbroker in a dangerous but prosperous career. A robber and then tries to get him to commit a murder. When he tries to step back, his good fortune evaporates and an investor asks for her money back. But she aids him in executing another crime that might cover all his previous misdemeanours.
A bronze statue of India's "Thief Queen" ensnares a dishonest, scheming stock trader in a risky but profitable job. A criminal then attempts to make him kill someone. When he tries to quit, his luck runs out and a client demands her investment returned. However, she helps him pull off another heist that could erase all his past wrongdoings.
