When Her Highness and Silk stumble upon a grand estate with a fountain, they hatch a scheme to pose as the operators of a magical "Fountain of Youth," hawking bottled water to gullible townspeople who pay handsomely for the promise of restored youth. Their con runs surprisingly well until the authorities close in and they're confronted by the estate's actual owner—a famous author whose whole brand is the opposite of what they're selling. A 1948 humor story that turns a classic legend into a quick con artist caper, complete with all the comeuppance you'd expect.

When her cover is blown during a tense confrontation, Bates must use her wits and nerve to turn the tables on this escaped convict and his operation. It's a clever game of cat-and-mouse where the law plays dirty to catch a killer.
