2 Cassettes
A full-cast dramatisation
From 1938 to 1969 crime novelist and detective Paul Temple and his glamorous Fleet Street journalist wife, Steve, solved case after case.
They inhabit a sophisticated, well dressed world of chilled cocktails and fast cars, where the women are chic and the men still wear cravats. And where Sir Graham Forbes of Scotland Yard always needs Paul's help with a tricky case. The case this time involves Dr Conrad's daughter Betty, who has disappeared from her finishing school in Bavaria. Paul is invited by the police to go over there to help trace the missing girl. Initially, though, even he is baffled, since the only clue to the mystery is an unusual cocktail stick found in her bedroom.
