China's adopted son discovers a skeleton while at an archeological dig. However, the bones are much more recent than the dig. China is dealing with some economic and staffing issues with the tearoom. Meanwhile, Ruby is playing a part in the community theater in a play sponsored by 2 town heiresses about their father. The play is dreadful, but Ruby plays up the comic elements and steals the show. When a man ends up dead in connection to the 2 sisters, China becomes suspicious and believes there may be more going on than anyone suspects. Complicating her investigation is the split up between her friend Tough Cookie, the police chief and the sheriff. China's knowledge of herbs and plants plays an important part in the story.
