The arrival in Gaborone of Note Makoti produces a turmoil in Precious' soul. The whole thing has been instigated by her rival, Cephas Buthelezi, who knew about their marriage, and now, his only wish is to get her out of the way because she represents a threat to his business. Cephas does everything possible to annoy Mme. Ramotswe any time he can, even playing some of Note's records in the background as he makes anonymous calls to her home.
Grace Makutsi is shocked when she gets to work and finds someone has entered the office and has thrashed it. To her surprise, no money was stolen. The incident follows the recent string of break ins around the area where the Ladies' Detective office is located. Grace sees her diploma on the floor among the debris the perpetrators left behind. Trying to get her boss proves impossible.
Since Precious agreed to marry JLB, it was decided to inspect her fiancé's house to see if she would prefer to live there, or keep her own home. JLB's maid, Florence Peko, is a lazy woman that has had the run of the house that is at best sloppily kept. Precious sees right through her and decides she must go.
JLB wants to take Precious to select an engagement diamond ring. Her fiancé tells her to look at the more expensive pieces, but she settles into a small ring that is not as ostentatious as the bigger ones the owner is trying to push on her citing discounts. Precious is in for a big surprise when Cephas tells her the stone in her ring is a fake. She goes back to confront the store owner, who agrees to replace the ring for a real diamond.
Precious, discovers by accident who the real culprits are in the break ins. The bandits turn out to be monkeys, rather than humans. Still, she must deal with the problem at hand. She must face Note. For that, she goes into the marriage records office and makes another discovery that will help her annul her marriage to Note. Being afraid to do so, she finds the necessary courage to tell her abusive ex-husband how she feels about him. She is shocked to see how low Note has descended, when she finds drugs. In the end, Precious regains her confidence, for she is strong and can face anything.
