[edit] Story
While working on a report in Scotland, Yoko and Pol literally run into Cecilia, a disturbed young woman who is held like a prisoner by her uncle and also stepfather, Sir William. The man invites Yoko and Pol to his castle. Once there, Yoko discovers a ploy laid by Sir William to kill Cecilia and thus inherit her fortune. With the help of a doppelgänger named Margaret and an unscrupulous doctor, Cecilia is meant to lose her sanity (both herself and to the eyes of outsiders). A three-dimensional animated hologram, representing Cecilia's deceased mother Lady Mary, is used to lure the girl into the nearby ruins of an abbey, where Sir William plans her to fall to her death.
Yoko and Pol leave again, but return with Vic to the abbey ruins to foil the attempted murder. McNab, a rejected suitor of Lady Mary who is believed to be mentally unbalanced, works with them to carry out his vows of revenge against Sir William. But while trying to get to Cecilia with Margaret's help, Yoko nearly falls victim to Sir William's machinations as well.
