Plot

Captain Laserbeam is raising money for the Apex City high school marching band at the car wash when the Adventurekateer distress call goes off. The Adventurekateers inform him that the Die-brarian has returned to Apex City. Captain Laserbeam sends the Adventurekateers to the car wash and heads to the Die-brarian's secret lair, the Card Catacombs.

As Laserbeam fights Papercut, a henchman, the Die-brarian activates his Tableau Ray and forces Papercut and Laserbeam to act out a Die-orama of The Cask of Amontillado. Upon remembering Leslie and Bethany's words, Captain Laserbeam uses his laser willpower to escape and captures the Die-brarian in his freeze laser.
