It seems a simple enough assignment that even Grant should be able to handle it but Rip has been grounded for a week by his mother. So Grant is on his own. At the subsequent classic car show where Grant is acting as driver and bodyguard to the car, he is mortified to encounter the last person in the world he would ever want to meet - actor Reed Carrol, the man whose success Grant has always resented. Carrol is showing off his car, the famous custom-built Silver Bullet. After the show, Davies chauffeurs the Rolls Royce home himself and tells Grant to drive the empty trailer back. Parking as instructed, Grant is unable to avoid losing his shoes - and his dignity - in the mud. He is astonished to find an insurance company investigator on his doorstep the following morning. The Silver Bullet has been stolen and Grant's gloves and fingerprints have been found inside the car's empty trailer. Desperate to prove his innocence, Grant is certain that Reed Carrol has stolen his own car for the insurance money and is trying to frame him. Heavily disguised - as a priest - Grant pays an exploratory visit to Carrol's house where he is instantly recognized by the amiable actor and invited in. Carrol, in fact, wants to hire him to find the missing car. The next day, the burnt out wreck of the Silver Bullet is found in a ditch. To deflect police suspicion that Grant is responsible, he and Rip head for the scene of the crime but have to make a quick exit when it transpires that Grant's footprints clearly match the prints around the wreck. Grant goes on the run from the police. With his superior powers of analyze, it doesn't take Rip long to figure out that Grant did steal the Silver Bullet - but without knowing it. The trailer he drove home from the car show was not empty after all but contained the stolen car. Grant then left his footprints in the thick mud at Davies' house and Davies was able to make plaster moulds and leave imprints around the car wreck. The final piece of the jigsaw falls into place when Rip also realizes that the Silver Bullet was not the wrecked car. HE and Grant draw the investigators to the showrooms of Noyes, a classic car salesman and Bruce Davies' partner in crime. Davies makes a run for it in the unscathed Silver Bullet but is dramatically halted by heroic action from Grant - much to everyone's astonishment. The car is saved, Grant's innocence is proven and a way is even found to placate Rip's irate mother. Maybe Grant and Reed Carrol could be even become friends. Written by Anonymous See less
