"THE SCALES OF JUSTICE" (KEN PONTAC) INSPIRED BY "THE ADVENTURE OF THE SPECKLED BAND" BY SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE Someone has robbed the supposedly impenetrable "safe room" at Genie Tech. In the locked room - with no window or other way out - Sherlock Holmes discovers tiny scales which prove to belong to a mysterious unknown species of snake. Is this the work of the eminent herpetologist Grimsby Roylott who is trying desperately to keep the old London Zoo afloat? Or, as Watson suspects, is it the work of Forest Chapman, the proprietor of the spooky Mythological Museum where monstrous hybrid creatures are created and displayed to the delight of 22nd Century kids? Holmes looks past the obvious to discover that someone has mixed his own DNA with that of a python in order to commit the daring robberies. Holmes must then wrestle with the snake-man for his very life to win the day! Educational Message: Be careful about accepting the first explanation offered; examine alternative theories and possibilities. Also, good intentions never justify wrong actions.
