Terry accepts a job as the driver of a Mercedes, but while he steps away briefly, the car is stolen, and he finds himself accused of stealing a cache of diamonds that had been concealed within the vehicle in the incident.

Diamonds Are a Girl's Worst Enemy is a television episode that falls within the drama genre. It forms part of a larger series, presenting a self‑contained story centred on a single set of characters and a particular incident. The title hints at the central conflict in this episode. The narrative follows a man called Terry, who accepts employment as a driver for a Mercedes‑Benz. His role is straightforward: transport the vehicle as required. Terry appears eager to take on the responsibility, seeing the position as a chance to earn a steady wage and prove his reliability behind the wheel. During the moment Terry turns his back, the Mercedes disappears. The vehicle is taken in the very instant he is not watching, leaving only the fact that it was stolen while he was away from it. The sudden loss leaves Terry without an explanation for how the car vanished. Shortly after the loss is reported, investigators focus on Terry, alleging that he concealed a stash of diamonds within the automobile. The accusation suggests that the stolen vehicle was used to transport valuable gems, and that Terry orchestrated the disappearance to profit from the hidden cache. He now faces charges linked to the alleged jewellery theft.
