Synopsis for The Clock: "Elmer Quipple and Moose Mangle"
Butch buys a mail-order ventriloquism course from Elmer Quipple, and it doesn't work, and she writes him a threatening letter. Elmer shows up in person to negotiate, but gets off to a very bad start in their first conversation, after which he hangs around without introducing himself. Elmer uses his extremely advanced ventriloquism skills to be an annoyance to everybody else and especially to Butch, with whose affections he keeps trifling. All of this gets in the way of the Clock and Butch's investigation into a series of jewel robberies perpetrated (it turns out) by one Moose Mangle, whom they eventually are able, with the mostly-inadvertent assistance of Elmer, to identify and confront and defeat. Elmer and Butch do not part on good terms.
