"Un quiz per esperti" is an Italian made Mandrake story from 1964. It looks like this originally was a non-Mandrake story, a bit edited and with new pictures of Mandrake and friends drawn (glued) into the story.

Plot summary

During a lunch with the Chief of Police, Mandrake meets Mr Greenwich, a talented lawyer. The chief - who likes puzzles - receives a mysterious letter with a map evoking London and the 5th Avenue. On this avenue a store owner has just been assaulted and robbed. Shortly after that event, a page of the penal code is addressed to the Chief . Then another theft occurs in a jewelry shop. After two other letters composing a puzzle to resolve, Mandrake has suspicions about the lawyer Greenwich since his name evokes the city of London and his activity is linked to the penal code. During a spectackle given in an orphanage, Mandrale succeeds in unmasking the guilty.
