Confessions Of Boston Blackie.

Joe Buchanan, one of the art dealers handling the auction, asks Diane Parrish to stay away, claiming that an emotional attachment to the work might cause her to make a scene. She shows up anyway, and notices that the statue is not hers, but a fake. The replica is purchased by Blackie's wealthy friend, Arthur Manleder. Blackie learns about it, and sees a way to unravel the mystery.
