Lizzie Greystock marries a rich, dying baronet and comes out of it a widow with an income, a castle in Scotland and a diamond necklace the Eustace family lawyers insist is an heirloom. She will not give it up. Her lies, a lawsuit, a robbery and the courtship of her cousin Frank keep all of London talking.
