The Phantom Pursuit

The Phantom is a white collar criminal that Inspector Looso has been following for weeks across the country to find his link with other financial criminals. Even though Inspector Looso installed a twin turbo on his engine, his 1969 Citroen 2CV is no more than a wreck with four donkeys running on cheap scotch under the hood. This morning the Phantom is driving his sumptuous 1939 Lancia Astura specially designed by Pininfarina to go see his partner in crime Maximilian Moneybags. Looso is flooring the accelerator in order to keep up with the Lancia Astura in the twisty roads. However, the road holding of the 2CV is as good as a sandal on a banana peel and thus Looso ends his chase in the ditch with the wheels up and the morale down. What are The Phantom and Mr. Moneybags up to anyway? For sure, Inspector Looso’s boss will not be happy after this new goof.

Musical Notes: In scientific research & development borrowing from one author is called plagiarism but borrowing from a dozen is called research LOL. You may recognize at some places The Planets, (Mercury) by Gustav Holst, The Love for 3 Oranges and Lieutenant Kijé by Sergey Prokofiev, Raiders of the Lost Ark by John Williams, The Forest by Bernard Herrmann and probably many others that I do not remember. In DAW we trust.
