Comedy meets sci-fi in this tale of high-stakes gambling and high-tech misadventure.
Welcome to the fabulous Pink Mingo Hotel and Casino, a tourist destination known round the galaxy for glamour and luxury. The Pink Mingo, indeed, the entire colony on the planet Vogus, has modeled itself after third hand (and somewhat muddled) reports of a certain famous gambling city on the quarantined planet Earth. But beneath the veneer of glitz, social unrest is brewing between the planet’s two species.
Into this bubbling cauldron steps an unlikely hero, Pelham G. Totleigh. His species, Haplors, are smaller than most others in the galaxy. And, as his Aunt Agutha constantly reminds him, he is hardly the smartest or most industrious of Haplors. When Pelham tries to intervene in a friend’s false arrest, things quickly spin hilariously out of control. Fortunately, his faithful valet Blandings has enough brain power for both of them.
It’s a laugh-filled adventure as Pelham and Blandings try to try to extricate everyone from trouble, strike a blow for justice, and prove to Aunt Agutha that Pelham isn’t a complete an idiot.
