This comedy will surely be a treat to ardent aspirants of enlarged vocabularies. It adheres so closely to the theme that Gordon never leaves his house but that each pocket is filled with pencils and material to solve. He is hooked by a crane and hoisted to the top of a steel structure. His antics high above a city are hair-raising and he descends just in time to enjoy a ride to police headquarters. There he infuses his crossword mania into the cops and leaves them all with pencil and paper or chalk, scrambling about to solve the wordy problems. Written by
