...Nice Man." As cops got the story, Eric and his older brother, Jean-Philippe, 7, were on an outing to Paris' exclusive Saint-Cloud Golf Club with Grandfather Jean-Pierre Peugeot, 63, titular head of the $40 million empire. While Grandpère played golf, the children were in the care of a nursemaid at the club playground. The maid felt chilly, went back to the car for a wrap and a chat with the Peugeot chauffeur.

Whereupon the professor brushes a speck of dust from his tweeds, adjusts his rucksack and deerstalker, stamps his stout shoes, grasps his walking stick and casually strolls off-to the center of the earth. Fortunately, he is followed by a Hollywood producer (Charles Brackett) with wit enough to smile at some of the most preposterous pseudo-scientific poppycock ever...
