The Mavens are guests at a Halloween party at the opulent home of Abner and Coco Vidal in Brindlewood Bay. Abner, a retired filmmaker known for his gonzo, B-grade films, welcomes the Mavens dressed as King Tut.
The merriment is shattered by a piercing scream—Mrs. White has discovered Abner dead on the back porch, his head submerged in a basin used for bobbing for apples.
