The owner informs the great detective that six busts were made. It also seems strange to him that someone destroys a product that costs a penny. Busts are cast as follows: molds are cast from two halves of the face, glued together, and then dried in the corridor. Beppo the owner knows well, he worked in his workshop, was a good worker. A year ago, Beppo wounded an Italian with a knife and was arrested. This happened immediately after the busts were sold. Holmes sets to whom two more busts have been sold.
Meanwhile, Leystred identifies the murdered person: this is the Italian Pietro Venucci, one of London's most terrible thugs. Holmes with the police ambushes in the house where the penultimate of the busts is located. The criminal takes the statue out of the house, and the police grab it. It turns out Beppo, who stubbornly does not want to say why he breaks busts.
Holmes buys the last remaining bust from its owner. In the presence of Watson and Leistred, the great detective smashes the statue and carefully examines each piece. In one of them he finds the famous black pearl of Borgia, which was stolen from the Princess of Colonna. Attempts to find a pearl were unsuccessful. Suspicion fell on the maid of Princess Lucretia Venucci, the sister of the murdered Pietro, and a few days later Beppo was arrested.
Beppo stole a pearl from the Venucci family and hid it in one of Napoleon's busts. Having come out of the conclusion, he established to whom the busts were sold, and tried to find the jewel.
