Ace of Wands Cast

Mr. Sweet is invited to the Bond Street art gallery owned by Bartlett Bonnington; however, when Sam and Lulli go in his place, they soon find themselves in the middle of a very strange robbery. An old lady named Mrs. Kite uses a pair of lorgnettes to freeze time, enabling an oriental art-thief named Tun-Ju to steal a valuable painting named ‘The Carzette Venus’. After a tip-off from a taxi driver named Digger, Sam tracks the old lady to a Chinese restaurant; however, when Tarot later investigates he becomes the victim of Tun-Ju’s mind-wiping machine. Luckily a squawk from his pet owl Ozymadias is able to restore his memory. Meanwhile, Tun-Ju is now planning his life’s ambition: to steal the priceless ‘Mona Lisa’ from the Louvre; he hypnotises Sir Patrick Landau into painting a duplicate so that he can then switch the fake for the real one. Tarot, Sam and Lulli attempt to stop him, but once again find themselves at the mercy of the ingenious oriental - and faced with the prospect of being reverted back to children…
