Danny and Ed must solve the mysteries of magic show star Vanko's wife Vera who can't be found for real after their cage disappearance act, with a romantic twist, and the missing presidential swizzle stick which enabled Monty McClure, president of the national collectors society's holding their annual convention, to claim his post, indeed the motive. Mike warmly welcomes his former gray mouse savior at MIT Ben Pearce, who loses at the world poker championship, alas not having won the hefty entry fee but borrowed from loan shark, who has Ben beaten up as a reminder.
