        To raise money for endangered tigers, the Chinese government lends the National Zoo a valuable jewel. At the presentation ceremony, the lights go out and the jewel disappears. It's up to K.C. (stepdaughter of the president) and her friend to find the thief. Though the characters remain two-dimensional, the plot is slightly more engaging and less far-fetched than others in this series.
