You should watch "The Lair Of The White Worm". Hugh Grant definitely isn't a helpless floppy-haired romantic in that! Or possibly "Rowing With The Wind", although I'm not sure it's terribly friendly to suggest anybody watch that one. :D
"The Adventure Of The Strange Ruby" is a standalone, yes. It was written in about 1961, so it's quite a bit later than the famous ones. It has a different vibe to it somehow - it always seemed different to the Famous Five/Adventurous Four/gazillion others. It's lots of fun, anyway. And yes, I did read the 'R' ones. Barney the circus boy and his monkey!
