"What have I done to myself?" cries a tearful Melba, who hadn't asked to be a mummy in the first place. Start with a disappearance. Add a Queen of Beasts gazing into a steamy crystal ball. Heap on a terrifying hippo hunt, and what have you got? Melba the Brian, Morton School genius, once again at the mercy of unleashed brain power! Gutsy and curious, Melba the Brian hurtles herself onto the Animals' Planet, where she risks everything to find Astrocat and her look-alike robot. What happens when they all get together can only be described in hieroglyphics. Later, when Melba adopts a planet and Tommy, King the Video Arcade, helps out, even the principal cheers. Told with action that never lets up, Melba's adventures will provide fans with enough shivers and chuckles to last a dynasty. And will give them a startling view of an endangered Earth besides.
