It's a comic novel, so it's a bit silly to quibble, but: I cannot believe that an 1940s American criminal would use the phrase "oompus-boompus." It's such a Bertie Wooster phrase.

Diamonds that are lost, aren't really lost with Lords posing as butlers; their nieces, as secretaries; their eventual lovers, as detectives; con men as detectives, other con men as oil stock salesmen and the whatnot! The master is in fine form with all that can go wrong going wrong. However, this is, of course, Wodehouse's world and, eventually, the sun comes shining through.
