...bloodhounds of the F. B. I., headed by John Edgar Hoover himself, and with Franklin Roosevelt's Attorney General Frank Murphy whipping them on. Overnight, national politics made a national figure out of their common quarry: a big-nosed, big-eared, Russian-Jewish underworldling named Louis ("Lepke,* the Leopard") Buchalter...

It concerns leopards, prehistoric bones, big game hunters, a cartload of hens and ducks, and a singularly unaccomodating little wire-haired terrier called "George." It shows Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant wandering in and about golf courses, forests, and a Connecticut jail in search of "Baby"--the young leopard, and vaguely hoping to recover Mr. Grant's most precious possession: the intercostal clavicle of a prehistoric brontosaurus. It enlists the services of such...
