A Scotland Yard detective Rodney Paine and his newspaper reporter friend Pip Piper arrive at a country inn intent on a quiet holiday with a spot of fishing but they get involved in a local crime where it appears a man has been murdered... but no one can find the body. The body of a local taxi driver is found however. The detective ferrets out the truth with the aid of the local copper and some skilful deduction.
It is a short film at 46 minutes and the ending is a bit rushed but it certainly entertains with lively dialogue and good performances. Anthony Hulme is charming as the detective and C. Denier Warren over enthusiastic as the reporter. Played for comedy as well as mystery it works very well. There is a nice running gag with a three wheel bicycle.
