Synopsis[]
Gadget is assigned to stop M.A.D. agent Professor Venom, who intends to use his trained snakes to steal a valuable coin collection at the Firstpenny Mansion. Whilst at the mansion, Gadget comes across an old guard wielding a blunderbuss and who doesn't want any help guarding the coin collection whatsoever. Also in attendance are various wealthy people who plan to bid on the auction and two appraisers, the Flinkelfloppen Twins. Penny sneaks into the mansion and eventually finds Professor Venom's office, the room that the coins have been taken to, and when she is almost caught and her Computer book almost smashed. She manages to escape to the attic only to be followed and threatened by three of Venom's snakes. But Penny manages to take down the venomous creatures a peg or two. Eventually, Gadget and the reluctant old guard arrest Professor Venom, who has been attempting to get away with the coins, and Chief Quimby arrives to congratulate Gadget. Gadget tells the chief that he had a little help.
