Ruby and the Ruby

Private detective Jacques Hammer has a nose for sniffing out trouble... One night, in the middle of a terrible thunderstorm, the fiery Ms. Ruby turns up in his office with a problem. There's a missing gemstone, and Jacques is the man to find it. As he's looking around for clues, a fishy looking character turns up outside. Maybe he's got answers for Jacques...
