Music does not always soothe the savage beasts by Jean-Pierre Martinez
Mr. and Mrs. Camembert have just bought the dilapidated castle of Moulinrouge, and they have invited the local high society for a dinner concert. They hope this will gain them admission as members of the town’s highly exclusive Philanthropic Club. But soon, the pianist’s head appears floating in the pool. And to think we’re barely at the appetisers..
