First Line: You say your investigators have given up all hope of finding Lassie for me, Mister Bennett?
Synopsis: The Old Gentleman seeks Lassie. Rocky calls the turn on malingerers. Gerry fears evil. Thieves crack Lawrence's office safe, steal £1000, abduct Rocky, Ben, Lassie and Commando, and spirit them away, bag and baggage, in Rocky's sloop, the Sea Gull, framing the boys. Mr. Lawrence loved the boys, is hurt by the apparent betrayal, reluctantly notifies the police. Gerry believes in Rocky. Plot twists abound. Lassie saves unconscious Gerry from drowning. Mr. Lawrence confesses his wrong to Rocky, asks forgiveness, confessing the boys are as kin. Rocky gulps. Lassie speaks: Yarp!
