After a man named George Miller is rushed to hospital for injuries suffered in a car crash, doctors find £50,000 in diamonds in his stomach. Steed and Mrs. Gale investigate Miller's practical-joke shop, ‘Big Laugh’, and then track down Mr. Litoff, the owner of the diamonds. Even though the Litoff Organisation is one of the world's greatest financial empires, it is currently in the process of converting all of its assets into cash Mr. Litoff is reputedly very ill, although no one but his doctor and his number two man, Mr. Getz, have seen him recently. Steed attempts to return the diamonds, but provokes very little interest, and when the body of Mr. Litoff is found buried in the grave of his beloved Great Dane, it looks like much more than £50,000 is at stake...
