Hotel Portofino

Rose and her mother arrive at the hotel to evaluate a prospective marriage with Lucian. Lucian's mother, Bella, finds herself vulnerable to extortion.

Danioni worms his way into the Ainsworth's affairs, helping Cecil arrange for a family heirloom to be sent from England, while turning the screw on Bella with his blackmail threats, and setting loose his Fascist thugs.

The younger inhabitants of the hotel find ways to let their hair down, while Cecil and Jack shake on a shady deal for the sale of the Ainsworth family heirloom.

Bella finally stands up to Signor Danioni, who hands over compromising correspondence to her husband, but before Cecil can confront her, the Ainsworth family heirloom goes missing.

As the local police search the Hotel for the missing heirloom and various guests and employees come under suspicion, Cecil finally confronts Bella over her compromising letter.

The officers resolve the mystery of the missing heirloom and the police close the investigation. Cecil makes a surprising discovery about Danioni.
