There is something of the soap opera to this breezy, semi-comic, story of jewel thievery. The eponymous stone, reputedly cursed throughout history, is the object for a gang of crooks who must obtain it before it's new owner cuts it up and sells it on. Handsome teen star Frankie Darro ("Lee/the Kid") ... assumes the guise of a boxer so he can infiltrate the boarding house that is run by the man charged with cutting the thing, but who really only manages to get himself embroiled in a bit of high jinx with undercover agent "Carter" (Kane Richmond) and a bit of a lively romance with the light and fluffy "Yvonne" (Rosita Butler). The plot is pretty incidental to this - it could easily be about just about anything, the cursed legend of the stone is largely underplayed and it is about as sinister as a sunny day on the beach. A showcase for some pretty people is all we have on offer here, sorry..
