Normal teen Sheldon and his super-genius stepbrother Theo (a.k.a. "The Brain") find themselves investigating a mystery that begins with the disappearance of holes in Swiss cheese and ends in a showdown with a two-headed butler from another dimension. This parody of old-style detective mysteries is full of entertaining absurdities and clever wordplay.
