Kermit and Fozzie are newspaper reporters sent to London to interview Lady Holiday, a wealthy fashion designer whose priceless diamond necklace is stolen. Kermit meets and falls in love with her secretary, Miss Piggy. The jewel thieves strike again, and this time frame Miss Piggy. It's up to Kermit and Muppets to bring the real culprits to justice.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The famous 'stepping out' swimming pool scene required Miss Piggy to be a full-size human in costume, shot separately and composited — one of Henson's first major uses of blue screen.
This was Henson's directorial debut, and he insisted on shooting in 1.85:1 widescreen to prove the Muppets deserved cinematic treatment, not just TV.
