Egbert was taken to a police station on a disorderly conduct charge and freed on $50 bail. Later he went on television, said that Striker Richards had "made a whale out of a min now." Egbert was soon receiving telegrams praising him for what he was accused of; but amiable Egbert is proud of getting along with his workers, pops out several times a day to chat with pickets...

Though unbelievable, it's spectacular, and with shipwrecks, cliff-climbers, saboteurs, informers, captures, escapes, and explosions, (and Gregory Peck, David Niven, and Anthony Quinn), how can you lose...
...walk-in birdcage. In Mouseville, built to resemble a big cheese, they can study scurrying white mice, and in the Hurdy-Gurdy House, a monkey swings to music. Best of all. they can slide down a "rabbit hole" just like Alice, and walk into the mouth of a huge whale just like Jonah...
