Kidnapping

The amateur sleuth leads his Boy Scout Troop on an usual treasure hunt. Will Clifton be able to keep his very British cool when art-loving gangsters kidnap one of his Boy Scouts Scoutmaster Musical Heron (aka top spy Colonel Clifton) and his troop must investigate when one of their number is abducted while collecting kindling in the woods. The abductors demand a ransom, with which their leader plans to complete his collection of Ming vases. After a huge commotion, the Boy Scouts go on an unconventional treasure hunt.
