1. Instead of red herrings, blue dolphins.
2. Instead of assembling suspects in the drawing room for summation and accusation, have detective make speech standing alone in a rowboat while addressing an audience of imaginary penguins.
3. Instead of outwitting bumbling police inspector, be confronted and, yea verily, outwitted by a simpering dandy.
4. Instead of some dame whose legs would make the Taj Mahal weep, feature a robot with come hither eyes.
