By Jill Benone:
If there is a Bermuda Triangle, it stands to reason there is a Catalina Quadrangle. In this re-write of "One Fateful Journey", the Master Spy and Mata Safari are travelling on the good ship "Catalina Quadrangle". Also travelling are Agent X of the Secret Service, Agent Y of the Super-Secret Service, and Agent Z of the Super-Super-Secret Service", as are Pepe LeMoko, Tondelayo, the King of Ruritania and Colonel Von Sapt, and Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. Aboard the ship we have the Purser, Bartender, Ship’s Captain, and the Body, played by VW principal Janice Hanada. (Because she was a body, she had to be carried, thus obeying the Follies law "no women onstage".) In a tribute to the beginning, her name is spelled backward in the program.

The names of the PTA ladies and the kids were attributed to Hugh "Bulldog" Drummond, Roderick Alleyn, and The Saint.

The Singers, who had become really good, performed fourteen numbers, broken into solos, trios, and four-man specialties. There were four dance numbers. Although there is always a call for more dancing it had proven physically impossible for the men to perform more than four, or five at the most, spaced carefully throughout the script to allow time for recovery.

Again, eight pages were devoted to cast/crew head shots and bios.
