Five Go Mad in Dorset
In the 1950s, four children--Anne, described as a "proper little housewife", rather butch George who has an unhealthy relationship with her dog Timmy, and their brothers Dick and Julian, whose relationship seems to be more than fraternal--go on a cycling holiday in Dorset where their flair for detection, plus their snobbery and xenophobia, gets a whole string of suspicious characters arrested.

Meanwhile, to make matters worse, the scriptwriter and director of this film seems to have lost his mind.
