The Cautioner's Tale
When Dr. Parsimonious Creed, head of the World Leadership Council, is murdered, his home ransacked, and important files stolen, billionaire Herr Bigly Rump graciously volunteers to take over the world in his absence. Contenders for the position are either murdered or jailed, leaving only Herr Rump in the running until Dr. Creed’s assistant, a young investigator named Mary Morgan - who is suspicious of the Rump’s motivation - enters the race to stop him. Mysterious circumstances lead to a shocking victory for the Rump, granting his wish for world domination. His first act is to ban the notion of history and all investigations into the past, calling them “witch hunts.” But knowing Mary may have information that could lead to his downfall, the Rump immediately declares her a criminal for having run against him and he sends out the hounds to find her. Out of a job and on the run, Mary does her best to remain in the shadows, but when she begins receiving letters from citizens around the world to help get rid of the tyrannical Rump, she has little choice but to act. As the bodies of her allies begin to pile up, Mary devises a plan to oust the Rump from power. But, little does she know how eager her enemies are to be rid of him as well. Could she be making matters worse?
