Mr. Beetle is back for another tale. In the last year, Mr. Beetle has skyrocketed to fame. He is known throughout the land as being inadvertently hilarious and somehow simultaneously boring. He makes bugs throughout the region laugh until it hurts, then he puts them to sleep with the dullness of his storylines. Gwen convinces Mr. Beetle to take a break from his adoring fans. What will become of Mr. Beetle once he is no longer immersed in the 25th branch's "beetle mania"?! Will one of his listeners be eaten by an ominously dangling spider? You'll just have to listen to find out.
