Unimpressed by the ancient ruins and the basic hotels, she finds herself surrounded by peculiar guests in Delphi: an artistic mother and daughter, a reserved Mr. Thompson, and a friendly, balding middle-aged man who seems to recognize Mr. Thompson. After a relaxing afternoon reading a detective novel, Mrs. Peters returns to her hotel to a shocking discovery: a ransom note demanding ten thousand pounds for her son's safe return. She is warned not to involve the police or the hotel staff. During dinner, her new acquaintance slips her a note revealing himself as Parker Pyne, the famous detective. They secretly plan their next steps, suspecting they are being watched. The following day, another note arrives, suggesting that if Mrs. Peters lacks the cash, she can instead provide her valuable diamond necklace.

The plan seems to go off without a hitch-Pyne hands the fake necklace to the criminals while Mrs. Peters keeps the real one. Willard is returned the next day, but to Mrs. Peters' surprise, Mr. Thompson is his rescuer. He reveals that he is the real Parker Pyne, traveling incognito. The man who posed as Pyne was, in fact, one of the kidnappers, and the necklace Mrs. Peters thought was the original was actually a fake. Pyne’s impostor and his accomplice are now in custody. Mr. Thompson’s suspicions were aroused when he overheard his name; his swift actions saved the day.
