The temples (john bentley, patricia dainton) are hot on the trail of "the marquis", a murderer roaming the streets. He's even sent letters to the temples, daring them to catch him. Number one suspect is sir raybourne. That's the guest star christopher lee, who pops up in so many dark, mystery films. Lee also played saruman and some evil star wars characters. Of course, there's a running gag where the servant rikki from rangoon has been replaced by his brother sakki. And his cooking is just as bad. It's all okay. Nothing too special. Lots of suspects, and nothing too clever to tip us off as to who-dunnit. Directed by maclean rogers. Based on the story by francis durbridge. The original british title was "paul temple returns". A pretty rough copy of the film. The picture is okay, but there's a high pitched noise present for the first half of the film. And near the end, when they are in the warehouse, it's pitch dark for such a long time, with just nothing happening. Really brings the film to a halt. It's all just okay.
