Jackie Kant meets a physician, Dan, at a New Years Eve Party, and invites him to the opening of her friend's Bed and Breakfast. Upon arrival there, they discover that the solid gold statue of a flying eagle, which served as the emblem of the Gilded Eagle restaurant for years, has been stolen. The statue weighed over 200 pounds, and only the relatives and staff at the restaurant knew it was really gold, not the gold-painted one that hung above the restaurant's door for years. The owners, George and Eleanor had sunk their entire fortune into the gold to make the eagle years before. Jackie agrees to help solve the crime, and begins to questions all there. George is poisoned, and rushed to the hospital. They discover he had eaten poison mushrooms, has his stomach pumped, and recovers. Can Jackie and Dan find the culprit of the theft and the poisoning? Is it the same person, or are there two criminals at the bed and breakfast that weekend. Could George's relatives really want to poison him, and steal his life savings? Can Jackie and Dan find the Gilded Eagle before it is melted down for its gold value?
