Meg has injured her hand and so she has to put her ironworks on hold but that doesn't mean that she can't help her brother find out what's not right at the office of Mutant Wizards, the software company that Rob founded with Lawyers from Hell.
Rob is a bit quirky and so he installed a robotic mail cart in the office. Practical Joker Ted loves to ride the cart but one of his jokes goes wrong and he appears at Meg's desk dead. Just as the route for the mail cart winds throughout the office so does Meg's investigation into the murder.
Michael, her boyfriend, is out of town filming a TV series, but he still manages to play a part over the phone. All in all the mystery was satisfying, the humorous moments entertaining but nothing to garner any awards. Not the best of the series but not bad.
