Missing Persons looks like a boring assignment to Jack Spratt and Mary Mary, until a chance leads them onto the hunt for the missing journalist, Henrietta 'Goldy' Hatchett. The last witnesses to see her alive were the Three Bears, comfortably living out a life of rural solitude in Andersen's wood. But, all is not what it seems to be.
