Who the hell is the 'King'?
The elves are official "toy-makers to the King," but their fancy title doesn't save them from arrest by the Burgermeister's jack-booted bullyboys. Of what is he "King," anyway? What's his obsession w/ toys? Why the triangular glasses? And most of all, why does he turn up in Sombertown as a pajamaed peasant cowering in a raided tenement ("T-thank goodness there were no toys")...? That was him, wasn't it?
Palace coup?
