When they arrive at his hilltop villa to question him, Robie slips away and heads to a restaurant owned by his friend, Bertani. The restaurant's staff, members of Robie's old gang who were paroled for their work in the French Resistance, are angry at Robie because they are all under suspicion as long as the new Cat is active. When the police arrive at the restaurant looking for Robie, Danielle, the daughter of the restaurant's wine steward Foussard, spirits him to safety.

Hughson, who reluctantly provides a list of persons currently on the Riviera with the most expensive jewelery. American tourists Jessie Stevens, a wealthy nouveau riche widow, and her daughter Frances, top the list; Robie strikes up a friendship with them, posing as an Oregon businessman on vacation. Frances feigns modesty at first, but kisses Robie as she retires to her room.
