or The Witch's Curse (January 21,

None of the village girls stand a
chance at marriage because all the village lads love Rose Maybud,
but are too shy to court her Robin Oakapple also loves Rose, but
when he becomes the wicked Baronet of Ruddigore, however, he must
commit one major crime a day or die in agony. The ghosts of his
ancestors step from their picture frames to confront him for not
conscientiously carrying out this duty.
