This is crazy!" Leach exclaims as they're tyinim to a chair. "I wasn't trying to kill anybody!"
"Then why did you drop a stone column on Baboon's head?" Doctor Quantum asks.
"I didn't!" Leach says. "In fact, I was specifically told to go up there to check on a loose column!"
"Told by who?" Hairbutt asks.
"I thinks yah means 'whom'," Kenny says, correcting him. "Everyone turns and looks at him.
"It was some young guy. Red hair..."
"Red hair?" Doc says.
From outside the shed, they hear MH's pretend fiance'. "Mr. MH, where are you? I hope you're not trying to break my heart. My little brother is here and he gets crazy when boys make me sad."

"mh," says doc von quantum, "you'd better keep her & hopefully that brat occupied while we investigate, but keep your eyes open."
"oh ... fine!" says mh, giving the tied & gagged leach a swift kick, and leaving the bicycle shed. "hi pumpkin! where've you been? I been lookin' all over."
"tee hee hee, "she giggles, grabbing him by the arm.
the others leave the shed, with leach still trussed up, just in case. suddenly they freeze in their tracks.
"ah sirs!" cries the butler, "there are new arrivals!"
to the m.a.'s amazement the interns are there, all dressed out in vintage finery.
"allow me to introduce, " says the butler, "miss skye, lady amber, lady sandee, duchess dakota, and duchess taffy."
"they picked us up in an old limo and gave us all these clothes & jewels," dakota whiskers to doc von quantum, "we don't know what's going on."
mh gallantly goes across, bowing & kissing all of their hands. the other m.a. members follow suit, including babu baboon, who seems to be coming out of his stupor.
coming to taffy mh says, "duchess taffeta, you're a vision of loveliness! I kiss yer hand, madam."
taffy giggles and in character says, "ladies, isn't mr. mh captivating?"
a few feet away, mh's new fiancé is glaring at both of them with hate.
"oh," mutters babu, shaking the cobwebs from his head, "this is bad."

MH's pretend fiance' stamps her foot with jealousy as Duchess Taffeta spins around, giggling, in her new vintage gown. Babu and Doc Quantum stare at the Von Degaton girl with aprehension.
From the bushes, a pale skinned boy in his late teens with a shock of red hair watches, his ears turning red with anger. In his hand is a stiletto knife clicking open and closed.
Elswhere, a the scene of Madame Kushka's death, Dupin and Drivtaan are going over the crime scene. Madame Kushka's body is still laying next to the overturned tea set.
"Hey!" Drivtaan suddenly exclaims. "Did you see this?"
"Qu'est que ce?" Dupin responds. ".... I mean... what is it?"
"This," Drivtaan points to the overturned sugar bowl. Madame Kushka's index finger is in the pile of sugar on the floor. She has traced out the letter D.

"Épatant!" exclaims dupin. "you are not without deductive talent my friend. the upstairs maid ... her name is dulcie! could it be?"
the other guests are being seated for dinner, and babu says to the manservant, "hey there geeves -- what gives? we never agreed to have our interns come along."
"i must apologize, "colonel baboon,"he replies, "it was ... necessary."
a puzzled babu sips his aperitif, and rises gallantly as the interns begin taking their chairs, with the manservant assisting.
"you ladies all look enchanting this evening, "says babu. the interns all giggle.
the very tan mature lady to babu's right leans over & whispers, "flatterer! my room will be unlocked tonite."
"hortense, "whispers the woman to her other side, scoldingly, "look at those whiskers! why he's a bohemian! probably a yale man."
"i agree with the colonel, "says mh," smiling at the ladies and quickly grabbing the seat beside taffy.
and adds lowly to taffy, "duchess, the very stars pale in comparison to your beauty."
taffy giggles, and whispers to sandee, "boy sandee, mh is really good at this play acting stuff! he could be on a soap."
mh, smiling, looks toward babu, who glares at him.
"coming into the dining room, dupin, with drivtann behind him announces, "we have deduced the identity of the killer!"
then a shot rings out.

Everyone jumps up from the table to race to where the sound of the shot had come from. When they reached the upstairs room, they saw the form ofthe maid sprawled on the floor.
"Merde," Dupin curses. "Well, obviously the upstairs maid is no longer our prime suspect. Such a waste, too. Se was quite the comely wench."
"Look!" Drivtaan says, pointing to the pool of blood. Dulcie had dipped her finger in it and traced the letter D on the floor before dying.

"baboon," questions mh as they head back down the stairs, "these are fake murders right? she looked pretty dead."
"i guess. i don't know anymore, "says babu.
the interns were still at the table, scarfing down food.
"guys, sit down & have some booze & chow, "says skye, managing a quick smile thru a mouthful of potatoes. "let those weirdos play "clue" all nite if they want to -- me & my girls are gettin' our grub on."
"look how taffy's cleaning that leg of lamb, "says babu. "those gurls are like a pack of starving hyenas. but they look nice in their gowns."
"taffy's gorging herself liek an angel, "mh, says lowly to babu, "this weekend may be my one chance to get in a little romance .."
as doc quantum, hairbutt and highness walk up, a knife flies by and sticks in the wall right beside mh's head.
"naa aaa aaa aaa!" mh bellows like curly on the three stooges.

"Somebody tried to kill me!" exclaims Mr. MH.
"No, look at The trajectory of the knife," Colonel Baboon says. "Someone tried to kill Doctor Quantum. But they missed."
"But why would someone try to kill me?" Doctor Quantum asks.
"Look at the victims so far," Colonel Baboon says. "Madame Kushka was a fortune teller. Dulcie, though but a maid, had a fascination with the occult. Particularly prediction. Her room was filled with items like tarot cards, ouji boards, a crystal ball, etc. And you, Doc, can transport through time."
"Do you think there are any others among the guests like that?" MH asks.
"I wouldn't be surprised," Babu says.

"lady amber has an interest in the occult, "says duchess dakota, wiping her mouth with a napkin.
"that's nuthin', says Kenny, "i'm done an actual swami!"
"i got this badge in a cereal box when I was a kid!" Kenny pulls it out & shows it around.
"it come with a ring that don't fit no more & a certificate from india! right count?"
buddy, his mouth full of pate, nods.
kenny takes his serviette, ties it round his head & yells, "meka leka hi meka hiney ho!!!"
the interns laugh so hard that champagne comes out of lady sandee's nose.
"he's obviously more qualified than amber," says dakota, covering her mouth with a napkin.

Kenny starts dancing around with his fake turbin, saying, "I am the Swami Wami! I can tell all your fortunes!!! Meke-leka hi meka hiny-ho!! Everyone come to me so I can look into all your futures!!"
As Kenny makes it into the foyer, the enormous chandelier suddenly comes loose and soars down towards Kenny. "Yipes" Kenny exclaims, diving out of the way. "Homina homina homina...."
"Wow," Babu says. "someone really doesn't want anyone here looking into the future."

at this time several people have changed into their evening clothes, and begun to dance in the ballroom. suddenly a big heavy guy sneaks into the dining room, closes the door, & falls down in front of kenny on his knees.
"you gotta help me swami!" he exclaims.
"I think my wife might be trying to kill me! I figured out that she's been replacing my 'I-can't believe-it's not-butter', with butter! plus I found a king cobra in my humidor. help me swami!!"

Reginald, you buffoon," a well dressed middle aged woman said, stepping forward, "That was a gag humidor with comical springy snake.
"Well, they scared the life from me," Reginald said.
"Honestly, I can't believe you thought they were real," she sniffed.
"It's all that real butter you have been feeding me," Reginald said, bringing his forearm to his forehead. "It has left me light headed."
"Oh, you aging fop. Honestly," she said, stalking away, dragging Reginald behind her..
"Somehow, I don't think he's a psychic," Babu says.
"Yeah, that guy aint getting killed," MH says.

minutes later, as the m.a. privately discuss their situation reginald bursts thru the door again and yells, "swami!" he shuts it and comes running over looking terrified, and grabs Kenny by the shoulders.
"you gotta help me swami!" he exclaims.
'what can the swami done for you, "asks Kenny.
"I got caught canoodling with that skinny broad I was dancin' with! the mrs walked in on us, and I had my hand in the old cookie jar! mrs. faversham will kill me! what can I do swami?!"
"take the servant's stairs up to the scullery, "says kenny, "and hide in an old rags barrel. if you remain pure of though, the swami promises she will not find you."
"oh thank ya, swami!" reginald faversham exclaims & rushes up the stairs.
within seconds mrs. faversham comes running in brandishing a candlestick.
"did he come in here?!" she asks.
kenny walks over, takes the candlestick and hands mrs. faversham a small sauce pan. "here," he says, "you don't want to kilt him. the swami sees he's done runned up the servants stairs to the scullery, "kenny tells her. "he's a hidin' in a barrel of rags."
"thank you swami!" she exclaims, and heads up the stairs.
babu, mh and the others look at Kenny mystified.
"the swami don't leik no cheaters, "he says.
the girls clap & amber blows Kenny a kiss.
"garsh, count buddy, "whispers Kenny turning red, "if only she was 90 lbs heavier."
"great caesar's ghost!" exclaims babu. "maybe Kenny really is a swami! okay swami, lead us to the killer."

Kenny stares at babu in dumfounded shock. "I... I..."
"Just messing with you, Kenny," Babu smirks.
Suddenly, there's a screach issuing from the dining room. Eveyone quickly races thee to see what has happened.
"Someone tried to stab me!" Lady Amber exclaims.
"Are you okay?" MH asks.
"I kicked him in the crotch and he limped out of here...." Amber says. "A... a ... red haired boy."
"My brother...." MH's pretend fioance gasps.

"Well, of course he is committing real murders," the butler interrupts. "I was supposed to be the blasted killer and then victims start popping up without me that aren't even in the script!"
"Oh man, you were supposed to be the killer? The Butler did it? Seriously?" Doc Quantum says. "I'm glad we didn't have to pay for this. I would have felt so ripped off."
"So are you related to Gary Degaton?" MH asks.
"Yes," he's my father," she says.
"Impossible," Babu says. "Degaton is in his lat 40s to early 50s at the most. You're....."
"I'm only 25!" she shrieks.
"Really?" Babu, MH, Doc Quantum, and Buddy all say at once squinting.
"This is why gingers shouldn't try to tan," she sobs.
"And the boy is your brother?" Doc asks.
"I said that in case anyone saw him, but he's my father..."
"But that would make him...how..."
"Degaton? Time machines? Duh!??"
