On the trail of the missing journalist, they attend a Greek concert at the Kennedy Center, tango at a class reunion, organize a fashion show at the Ritz, travel to the Swiss Alps and sunbathe on the French Riviera. Their efforts are rewarded when they finally unravel the mystery in a most dramatic manner.
