Jeremy MacConnor is a brilliant young science student whose work occasionally [[Mad Scientist|stretches the bounds of belief]] and who [[Chaste Hero|doesn't know much about girls]], whose misadventures begin when he finds out that he has to fight a duel to the death with his [[Axe Crazy]] (and immortal) Cousin Dougal to find out who will inherit the ancestral Castle MacConnor. His best friend Nilson Kerr, a young lady of dubious morals who thinks that owning a castle sounds fun, doesn't care about Jeremy's rather understandable fear of death, and sets herself to the task of helping him inherit a castle. And so begins an [[Planet Eris|increasingly bizarre]] series of adventures including an [[Aliens Made Them Do It|attempt by extra-terrestrials to get Jeremy laid]], an investigation by a private detective who [[Wrong Genre Savvy|mistakenly thinks he's in a private eye dime novel]], ghostly manifestations from the nearby lake, the MacConnor family's private mental asylum, a crazed zookeeper, a talking cupboard from Jamaica, and an insidious family conspiracy spanning generations. Eventually they're joined by Kate Provocski, a hack writer for trashy womens' magazines, whose cynicism and relatively sane personality make her the stable anchor of the group. |
