Story
Teddy Watkins heads to Hammerpond Manor to steal diamonds and other jewelry. For disguise, he pretends to be an artist, and pretends to want to depict a mansion manor on a canvas in the moonlight at night. This is not particularly suspicious. He wants to enter the house through the window at night. However, he does not suspect that besides him, two other robbers that night also decided to commit theft at the estate. One of the other two robbers stumbles in the dark, hype rises, the police on duty at the estate and the owners flee to the noise.
Two other robbers rush to run, followed by Watkins. Two other robbers mistook him for pursuing and a scuffle ensues. The police who ran up and the owners also did not really understand the whole thing, so that "the artist rushed to stop the robbers."
Owners with honors themselves introduce Watkins into the house. Where is he at night and commit a robbery.
