Back in 1955, the notorious antiquities thief "The Asian Elephant", finds a Ming vase belonging to a wealthy art collector. Unwilling to part with the vase, the collector is put in a position for an offer she can't refuse.
Eager to leave the country with the prized Ming vase, the "Elephant" finds that the last flight is all booked up. It appears that a passenger or crew substitution is the only option.
Having no other means of travel, the charming thief resorts to "borrowing" from the stewardess.
After a quick change of outfits, the infamous thief can't help but gloat. The stewardess would be impressed that she looked pretty enough to be a prized trophy, but the reality of being stretched across the pipes for hours, kind of sours the thought.
