The Mysteries of Mystery Island — Part Five

Fears mount for the Mystery Island movie stars aboard the little launch Mystery Star. Brian Abbot’s wife Grace and Leslie Hay Simpson’s brother-in-law Arthur Titterton do everything in their power to convince the Federal Government to launch an air-and-sea search of the Tasman Sea. But the weather is turning bad and time is running out. Meanwhile, Gower Wilson offers his theories about the missing men — and plans his own voyage to Lord Howe Island.
