The episode starts with the group settling into their lab when Von Bolt, the robotic assistant, intercepts a message from a local museum. The museum is requesting their help with a gemstone exhibit that includes a mysterious ruby. The group accepts the invitation and heads to the museum to investigate the ruby and to give a presentation on the properties of different gems. To their surprise, the ruby they were asked to examine is the mysterious ruby that they have heard so much about!
After examining the ruby, the group finds out that the ruby is rumored to have magical powers. According to legend, whoever possesses the ruby will have good luck and prosperity. The group doesn't believe in these legends and decides to test the ruby's powers. They set up experiments to test the ruby's physical properties and observe its reactions to different conditions.
Soon, everyone in the museum starts noticing a change in their luck. One of the museum visitors who was about to lose her job ends up getting a promotion, and another museum worker who was facing a lawsuit finds out that the case was dropped. The group realizes that this could be due to the ruby and starts investigating more to find out how the ruby is influencing their luck.
As they continue their experiments, the group discovers that the ruby has a unique crystalline structure that allows it to collect and store energy from its surroundings. This stored energy is what is giving everyone good luck. However, they also realize that if the ruby collects too much energy, it could cause a catastrophic event.
The group decides that they need to return the ruby to its rightful owner, a local gemologist, and further study its properties in a controlled environment.
