An auction is arranged but just as Ivor Gavel was about to auction the family heirloom, it had mysteriously disappeared. The question was who has taken it? As we know Agatha Christie, a guest, was on hand to solve the mystery and catch Inspector Spectre stealing the Pica Pica Solid Silver Pitcher with the Magpie Picture!
