(Episode: “The Riddle of the Gold”)
Synopsis: Supervillain Dr. Zin wants to disrupt the world’s gold markets. This involves murder, a kidnapped scientist who can do quasi-alchemy, a henchman disguised as a maharajah, and some extremely irate big cats. I don’t think Zin has an efficiency expert on staff.
Tip 14: There’s nothing wrong with mixing cutting-edge and old-school interests.
Case in point: Dr. Zin, international supervillain. His current interest is the age-old alchemical pursuit of turning non-gold things into gold—well, gold enough to fool people—even though he’s a very early adopter of this sweet video-phone system.

It’s okay to feel possessive of your interests: it’s less okay to, say, kill people with a poisoned needle about it.
