But when dealing with that kind of money, any deal is liable to turn sour when it's time to make the exchange. So when things go smoothly, Carl knows his luck can't be that good. When the double-cross is revealed, the Mobius crew sets out on a chase to track down their stolen merchandise. But once they find out who took them for fools, everything turns on its head.

Now they just need to find a way to stop Mort from killing it as an abomination.
