                In 
                this aerial view, we see that the city is encompassed by an efficient 
                monorail system, which together with the bus line, has virtually 
                wiped out the need for citizens to own cars.

                In 
                fact, the clock had total efficiency. Clockworthy had ingeniously 
                devised a way to make the clock's own movement power itself.

                Life proceeds 
                as normal now, here in Brikingham, the inhabitants blissfully 
                unaware of the fate that is to befall them.

                The 
                Old Clock Tower was erected in 1905. The eminent Professor James 
                L. Clockworthy was responsible for both the architecture and inner 
                working of the clock itself.

                When the professor 
                realized what he had created, he kept the secret of his perpetual 
                motion machine to himself - lest its power fall into the wrong 
                hands.

                Martin enjoys 
                spending his weekends up on the roof, picking off pigeons in the

                supports a modest library, though to be honest, its inhabitants 
                aren't all that interested in reading ever since TV came out.

                hurry to carry out the task before his demise, Clockworthy accidentally 
                held the bazooka backward, blasting himself and most of his house 
                into smithereens.
