    Milo (Michael Caine) arrives at the stately pile of a renowned crime writer - a sort of male Agatha Christie, and has to navigate a complex maze to track down his voice. The dapper Andrew (Sir Laurence Olivier) welcomes his guest effusively and takes him into his home. Its an Aladdins cave of theatrical props and costumes which leaves Milo a little unnerved. Not as unnerved as hes going to get, though, when Andrew declares his knowledge of the affair his wife is having with him and that hes relatively relaxed about her leaving so long as he can get the insurance on £175,000 worth of baubles. If only Milo can think of a way to purloin them so the police dont suspect an inside job? Well, its not as if there arent loads of disguises available ...
