William Marmaduke Thompson, C.S.I., D.S.O., O.B.E. (played by Jack Buchanan, the British George M. Cohan), is a cuff-shooting old harrumph who has left his best years East of Suez. Monsieur Taupin (played by Noel-Noel, a comedian who looks like a French edition of the late Robert Benchley) is a middle-aged owl with a skid-mark mustache...
