This episode was rerecorded as V/6 The Vanishing Room.
Inspector Seagoon shows up in the quiet village of Brodley-on-Cleat to investigate the murder of Lord Cretinby in his library. He seals the room, only to discover that Eccles, the police photographer, was inside. When he breaks down the door he finds the library, Lord Cretinby, and Eccles all vanished. Meanwhile, in Paris, Bloodnok checks into his hotel room only to find that the bathroom door has been recently sealed and unsealed. On the other side is the missing library, complete with Eccles and Lord Cretinby’s corpse. The hotel manager discovers that a British room is staying at his hotel and that Bloodnok has been concealing two unpaid guests – one living and one dead. Eccles phones Seagoon, who travels to Paris. Seagoon’s attempt to have Eccles and Bluebottle re-enact the murder results in Eccles shooting Bluebottle and the rest of the cast . . . .
