We interrupt this program to bring you breaking news on the disappearance of philanthropist and socialite, Olivia Wright. Live from the Sky News-Center, Bart Reynolds.

"Good evening. The search for Mrs. Olivia Wright was called off just past eleven o'clock this evening when police received word that she had been located. What had started off as a nice visit with a friend, Mrs. Patricia Green, turned into a nightmare as the two women were accidentally locked in the lower level of the Green's home in Kensington. They were discovered by Sir Nigel Green, the Director of State Security, upon his arrival home."

(The image of Sir Nigel, standing in a circle of reporters, appears on the screen).

"Of all the nights to be working late! I arrived home shortly before eleven and was surprised when Patricia wasn't waiting for me at the door with my slippers and pipe as usual. As I walked through the house I heard loud banging somewhere towards the rear of the house and that's when I found them, locked in the basement. I've been going to have that door knob replaced for months but just haven't had the time to do it."

(The image switches to a scene of Olivia standing beside a black sedan. George can be seen on the opposite side of the car with his door open, looking over the top of the car towards his wife and the reporters.)

"It was terribly frightful being trapped like that! Patricia and I had been working on the Spring Charity Campaign and I, of course, had lost all sense of time, and then we found we couldn't get out, and, oh my, it was dreadful! Oh! I can't believe the fuss everyone has made! I'm awfully sorry to have caused everyone to worry like this, especially my husband. I'm so touched by the outpouring of concern!" 

(The reporters on the scene were shouting out questions but Olivia had entered the vehicle and shut the door. The camera follows the sedan as it's driven away and then scans back towards the house. From the studio, Bart Reynolds voice is heard.)

"We turn now to our gal on the ground, Ginger Jannette, for more on this story, Ginger?"

(The camera focuses in on the blonde reporter as she's pulling her jacket closed at the neck in an attempt to hide the black leather collar around her neck. The chain attached to the collar thwarts her attempts to conceal it.)  

"Thank you, Mr. Reynolds, sir. From what I've learned from listening in on police briefings, the Greens have an older section of basement that Sir Nigel has allowed his wife, Patricia, to use for her social causes. It's mainly a small room filled with paper and supplies for making fliers. Mrs. Wright had accompanied her friend down the stairs around 4:30 this afternoon and had closed the door behind her, not realizing the mistake she had made. Unfortunately, the basement room has no telephone, and neither woman had any reason to bring their cells with them. The women emerged from their captivity in good spirits, though, and Mrs. Green was heard saying she hoped this ordeal would serve as good advertising for their upcoming charity event. Back to you, Mr. Reynolds, sir."

(The image returns to Bart Reynolds in the Sky News-Center.)

"Good advertising, in deed. A happy ending for all involved. We will now return to the show in progress."
