Dukkemageren Jeronimus forsvinder under mystiske omstændigheder fra sit værksted. Hans datter Olivia og Dr. Hotson opsøger den berømte mesterdetektiv Basil Mus på Baker Street, for at få hjælp. Inden længe finder Basil ud af, at det er den frygtede professor Rottigan der har kidnappet Jeronimus. Men hvorfor?. Det viser sig at Rottigan har skumle planer. Spørgsmålet er nu: kan de nå at redde Jeronimus og samtidig standse Rottigan? The film's final segment is about Texas' famous hero Pecos Bill. He was raised by coyotes (similar to how Mowgli was raised by wolves in The Jungle Book) the biggest and best cowboy that ever lived. It also features his horse Widowmaker, and recounts how Pecos was brought back down to earth by a woman named Slue-Foot Sue. This retelling of the story features Roy Rogers, Bob Nolan, and the Sons of the Pioneers to Bobby Driscoll and Luana Patten. This segment was later edited on the film's NTSC video release (but not the PAL release) to remove all scenes of Bill smoking. The entire scene on the tornado with Bill rolling the cigarette and lighting it with a lightning bolt was cut, and all other shots of the offending cigarette hanging from his lips were digitally removed.[15] With a total running time of "22 minutes, [it] is the lengthiest piece".[2] |
