The Talons of Weng-Chiang 1 of 6
The
Doctor takes Leela to Victorian London for a combination vacation
/ history lesson. However the lessons being taught are murder,
intrigue,
Local
women are disappearing from Victorian London and odd things are
afoot at Henry Gordon Jago's theatre.The police are stumped and
their only help lies in a a very eccentric Doctor who is on vacation
with his lung but equally strange lady friend Leela.
The Doctor, always one for a good mystery and this time dressed
for the part, soon discovers the presence of the Chinese Tong
of the Black Scorpion and instantly suspects Li Hsen Chang premier
performer at Jagos theater of being their ringleader.
The
truth goes much deeper than that and is indeed buried under the
theater itself and oddly connected with a recent acquaintance
of the Doctors, one Professor Lightfoot. Of course there are also
rodents of unusual size and a homicidal midget named Mr. Sin to
contend with, so it's a good thing Leela is around to kick some
@ss ;)
