Based on an ancient Mayan recipe Von Schmidt cooks up problems for our heroes.

The purpose of real power is to exercise it and Von Schmidt tries to confuse Tom Lawrence, Melody Thomas, Dr. Farmer and Dr. Pedersen and keep them guessing. Sending them to the wrong time and trying to trap them was his attempt to throw them off the track of the real source of his power- Chocolate.

What else goes with political power and control other than beer, babes, and bikinis? The only problem is these are the things that might keep the good guys from solving the crime of the ages-Chocolate. If sex sells, then this problem is priceless and bascially makes all conventional weapons useless.

Melody Thomas and Tom Lawrence find out in Northern Exposure that you can have a love relationship and save the world from sex at the same time or can you?
