In 'The Franchise Affair', Robert Blair, a lawyer, receives a call from Marion Sharpe, a local woman accused along with her mother of kidnapping Betty Kane. The young Kane claims to have been imprisoned in the Sharpe's house, but Marion flatly denies this accusation. Intrigued, Blair decides to investigate the case and discovers a series of mysteries that challenge even Inspector Alan Grant of Scotland Yard. Will Blair be able to solve this enigma and free the Sharpes from an accusation that seems incredible?
