...often abused agents of the FBI and the New York City police were basking last week in the spotlight of praise for their rescue of kidnaped Seagram Heir Samuel Bronfman II, the recovery of the record ransom of $2.3 million and the arrest of two confessed kidnapers. But TIME has learned that the investigation is still far from complete. There remains a possibility that a third accomplice, a woman, may have been involved.

His playful bantering with audiences and brilliant improvisations on such numbers as This Here and Mercy, mercy, mercy...
...Holmes novels. To be sure, the villainous Stapleton, who sets loose the title hound in order to rid himself of the two men who stand between him and the Baskerville fortune, was somewhat softened for celluloid. A romantic interest was added so that Richard Greene, as the last direct heir to the estate, has something to do besides express amazement and gratitude at Holmes' power.
