SUMMARY: John Wilkes Booth materializes in the
1950s and is horrified to learn that he's known as Lincoln's
assassin - and that Lincoln is highly regarded. Upon
meeting Audrey Hepburn - who was just rejected by Alfred
Hitchcock for the lead role in "Psycho" because she wasn't
willing to go blonde - sparks fly. But first, Booth must
convince her that he is really a time traveler - and that in
reality, Lincoln was the greatest monster the world has ever
known, with a fiendish plot to rule the world. He is
seeking Alfred Hitchcock, and Hepburn takes Booth to him.
Hitchcock, who is in a meeting with Jimmy Stewart, has the
information Booth seeks - about the Crown of Ra, an object of
power owned by Cleopatra - but upon divulging it, he is murdered
by Stewart... who, it turns out, is in Lincoln's employ and was
also seeking to extract that information. Suddenly,
Lincoln himself appears - half man, half android, and with a
deadly laser cannon for an arm. "If you're looking for
something to say, John," sneers Lincoln, "you can tell me how
that play ended." |

SUMMARY: As Lincoln teams up with Rasputin, Audrey
Hepburn manages to kill Jimmy Stewart in combat using the skills
she learned while helping the Dutch resistance. Booth and
Hepburn travel back in time to meet Cleopatra, hoping to enlist
her help and get to her before Lincoln does... but Cleopatra
already knows of Lincoln's plans. She believes that Booth
and Hepburn are in league with him, and takes them prisoner. |

SUMMARY: The immature Octavian is in league with
Lincoln and Rasputin, and is far too eager to rule. When
Cleopatra comes to gloat to Lincoln that she's captured his
spies, Rasputin lets slip that she's made an error. She
returns to her palace and frees Booth and Hepburn, promising
them the Crown of Ra if they'll help fight off Lincoln's forces.
Once those forces are routed, their time machines are returned
to them so they can go back in time to when the Crown was sealed
in a tomb after being given to Alexander the Great.
However, Lincoln and his crew have gotten there first, and they
are too late to stop Lincoln from overpowering the oddly
milquetoasty Alexander and donning the Crown of Ra... |

SUMMARY: Lincoln tries to control the captive Booth
and Hepburn with the Crown of Ra, but it's not working.
The two fight back, but their melee is interrupted by the
arrival of Neil DeGrasse Tyson, who created the Crown of Ra will
Bill Nye the Science Guy. However, the crown drove Nye mad
with power, and Tyson's attempts to wrest it from him resulted
in the crown exploding, scattering the power crystals needed to
fix it throughout time. Booth grabs the time machine but
Lincoln has sabotaged it; instead of being in the time period
they need to be to find the crystals, they are stranded... in
Menlo Park in the 1880s. |
