   Schlomo Raven is a very short detective. His secretary
   Eppie says he has "the heart of a lion and the mind of a
   rabbi." Heepo, Choocho, Zeepo and Grippo Farx have been

   Schlomo to suspect Bella Bugosi and Morton Barloff are
   involved, so he flies to Los Angeles. Bugosi and Barloff
   had indeed been there to steal a coffin, but had not
   kidnapped the brothers. Another clue leads him to Bumphrey
   Hogart's place, where he finds the Farx Brothers have been
   hired by Hogart to teach him how to be funny. Story ends
   with: "Tomorrow morning I'd buy the Times, take a walk in
   the park, call my rabbi. I was looking forward to it." --

When they get to the end, it says "and" instead of "end," and the castaways now drifting through space in a small launch are left worrying about what that might mean.
