註釋The mysteries of the universe are in the palm of the hand of an unsuspecting, Jake Moustachio. His Grandpa's seemingly ordinary magnifying glass is the portal to a world of fantastic misadventure and mysterious crimes . Awaiting our young detective is Delbert, The Keeper of Time. A nervous stumpy little man, who has summoned young Moustachio to The Museum of Time; a strange and spooky castle once owned by the famous archaeologist Lord Grimthorpe. A mystical bell that controls all time has been stolen! To find out who has snatched The Bell of Time, Jake, joined by his eight year old sister Alexa and their crazy cat Rex must use their keen detective skills to gather clues, while encountering a collection of strange and curious suspects throughout their misadventure. Was it Mrs. Smythe, the mad capped, knife swinging cook, with her poisonous lemon tarts, who stole time? Maybe it was Delbert's twin brother Rupert, the grumpy, jealous librarian of time, who snatched the bell? Could it have been the evil, lying Lord Beasley, seeking his revenge? Or was it the beautiful and secretive Mrs. Panosh, wanting to hide her dastardly deed who is guilty of the crime? Time is running out for our young detective and his companions, as they go on a wild goose ride, chased by suits of armor, haunted by the spirits of The Knights of Lion Heart. Will the spirits stop them from finding time? There is only one guy who can solve this crime and restore time back where it belongs. Inspector Moustachio is his name, and solving mysterious crimes is his specialty!
