SYNOPSIS:
An American couple on their honeymoon meets an irritating little
man on a train. Unfortunately, in addition to being really annoying,
the stranger on the train is also an international jewel thief who
has stolen a giant ruby for his criminal bosses. Figuring (correctly)
that the Americans are less likely to get stopped at customs, he
slips the ruby into their luggage, intending to recover it later.
Unfortunately, it falls out in the trunk of the cab on the way to
the hotel. Now both the crooks and the cops are in pursuit of the
newlyweds, after a ruby the couple no longer has. The two principles have a
nice bickering-but-loving vibe going and the whole thing appears
to be shaping up as a Bollywood Romancing the Stone. Then the
wife gets kidnapped by the criminals and pretty much disappears from
the last 3/4 of the movie. Instead, the husband teams up with the
cabbie, who, for inexplicable reasons, agrees to help him get his
wife back. In the end, of course, they do -- the couple is reunited,
the ruby is returned to its rightful owners, the heroes collect a
large cash reward, and the audience is still scratching its head
wondering why the cabbie didn't just sell the ruby to his cousin
like he was planning to.

From Sex Styles to Textiles
The jewel thief introduces himself to the married couple: "Are you married or just in love?"
"We're in
textiles," comes the reply. The conversation goes downhill from there.

Our hero falls onto a table, and the villain mispronounces his name in an effete way. The hero corrects him, and the villain is sort-of apologetic.
