The movie kicks off with a bad guy stealing some diamonds and then breaking a window. They steal some more jewelry and break another window. They find another box of goodies and break yet another window. Finally, they leave.

While that’s happening, we see that Hannah is baking a pie! She finds out that Connie Mack wants to come and film in her bakery! CONNIE MACK! She’s a legend. And it gets better—they want Hannah to help! Obviously, Norman is around because he’s in love with her, and he doesn’t even know who Connie Mack is, but he’s still impressed. Chad comes by to pick up some muffins for the crew and to see Hannah’s face.

Chad is a busy bee working on this burglary case. He’s convinced he has the right guy but needs more evidence that the same person is involved in 13 break-ins.

It’s time for filming—Connie shows up and she’s a bit of a diva. Hannah immediately catches on to the fact that Connie doesn’t really know how to cook. Hannah tries to correct her at one point, which Connie doesn’t appreciate, and pours a pie on her head.

The producer apologizes to her afterward and confirms that Connie doesn’t know how to cook. He asks her to go along with it for one more day. The next day, Hannah finds the producer, Hunt, dead. We see on his computer he was reading an article about the burglar—Chassley—that Chad was investigating.

Obviously, Hannah begins to investigate herself. She catches Connie on the street, and it seems like she has a jaw problem she didn’t have before. And no one can get in touch with Hunt’s wife. Suspicious.

She finds out that Hunt moved the booking to their town after finding out about the court case of Chassley, and that’s what he was looking at on his computer. Sure is odd.

As she’s updating Chad on what she’s found, a car comes speeding toward them and he has to pull her out of the way. What gives?!

They decide they’re going to set a trap by announcing very loudly that Hannah’s mom is going out of town and is leaving all her expensive jewelry behind!

It works. They catch the bad guy. Turns out it’s Connie’s assistant, who is Chassley’s dad. She was going to stage a break-in that looked exactly like Chassley’s to keep him from being convicted of all 13 break-ins. She killed Hunt because Hunt knew about what she was planning. Luckily, Chad calls her, figures out that she’s in trouble, and comes to save the day.
