His latest scheme includes kidnapping his brother, who is taken by surprise. In keeping with his secretive nature, Mr Benedict has given the children a series of puzzles that, once solved, may provide clues as to the location of his captivity. The youngsters get together to investigate, but they quickly realise that Mr Curtain plans to abduct them as well, as they have shown to be his only formidable opponents.
