acky
and tawdry, Medusa has a heart blacker than the murky waters of the Devil's
Bayou. Owner of "Madame Medusa's Pawnshop Boutique," she must
have the Devil's Eye! She won't rest until she clutches that glittery
diamond in her greedy palms. What she needs is a child, a skinny, homely
child that no one will miss to drop into the watery cave where the diamond
resides. An orphan is just the thing. It should be easy; she knows how
to control a child -- with a mixture of sickly-sweet cajoling and evil
threats. And, of course, she's got her beloved "petsy-poos,"
her crocodiles, to help. Once the diamond is hers, she's got no compunction
about abandoning Penny to whatever fate has in store and double-crossing
her partner to make her own triumphant getaway. |
