The Quest For Monday! Part 3: The Moral Of The Story Is…

Episode: “Mystery of the Lizard Men”

Synopsis: A group of bad guys blows up ships while testing their new laser weapon. Being expert in all things sciency, Dr. Quest and family are asked to investigate: eventually they defeat the enemy using a big mirror.

Tip 3: Everyone makes mistakes…no, really!

It’s a tough world out there. One minute you’re out seeking the Lost Temple of the Bewildered Goldfish God and the next you find out the curse wasn’t even real. (Well, it was, but only for eleven seconds.) And so it is with the Quests, who quickly realize the Lizard Men are just laser-wielding scuba divers and deal with them accordingly…with science!

Take a good look while you can...there's a mirror aimed at his laser beam. (And why did the people reporting frog-men not add "CYCLOPTIC" to that description? It seems important.)

But while all’s well that ends well, this adventure only goes to show the importance of bouncing back when you make mistakes—mistakes like, oh,  I don’t know, overestimating the load-bearing capacities of a rope.

And by "bouncing back," I mean "…after first falling down a hatch and knocking yourself out cold."

Next time: I have the perfect Found-Again movie. I can tell because I hate the very idea of rewatching it. Also, as I said last time, I’ll be participating in the They Remade What?! Blogathon hosted by Phyllis Loves Classic Movies. Like Charade? Like The Truth About Charlie? Hate either and have really good reasons why? Come comment on my upcoming post!

Next time on The Quest For Monday!: The Quests head north. Pack your thermals!
