Plot
Okuda and Niebaur write, "The plot deals with a society party where the number of dinner guests totals an odd and unlucky 13. Gardener Stanley is hastily tossed into the mix to make an even 14. Stan responds happily to this brief societal promotion and does his best to fit in. Meanwhile, Stanley's caretaker supervisor and one of the party guests are in cahoots to steal some rare jewels from the proprietors. Unwittingly, this is thwarted by Stan."[2]
