So Minnie agrees to accompany her reckless sister, Delia, for a night on the town with her Bohemian friends. The evening involves a raucous house party, a visit to a fortune-teller, and an encounter with a flirtatious baron, but none of that unsettles Minnie more than running into Stephen Dorian, her former employer in Corfu, who stirs in her a mix of resentment and attraction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoon after, Delia discovers the body of her rumored beau in his own home, and Minnie insists on playing by the rules and informing the police. After all, fleeing the scene could suggest Delia is guilty of more than an improper late-night rendezvous . . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen the sisters return to the townhouse, their parents, dreading the threat of gossip, insist that Minnie help clear Delia’s name.
