1. Introduction
===============================================================================
This is the third game in the first season of episodic Sam and Max adventures
from Telltale. A mole that was sent to investigate the Toy Mafia in town has
disappeared, and Sam and Max are ordered by the commissioner to find out what
has happened to him. There are plenty of returning characters here like Sybil,
Johnny Two Teeth and Bosco (with a new disguise and an even higher fee for an
important item) that are all fun to talk to as usual, and the new characters
like Leonard and the Toy Mafia are entertaining as well. Though the episode is
good, it doesn't seem as long or as difficult as the two previous episodes.
