Continued from Pierrot (Clown On The Moon)
When Alfred has destroyed the Mozons virus, the king of the Land of Two does not keep to the agreement and orders Alfred imprisoned. Alfred forces the king to keep his promise by making all children disappear.
Tropes:
- All Just a Dream: The episode looks like it tries to bait this at the end, until Henk tells Alfred it really happened.
- Ambiguous Species:
- The female animal the wheelchair lizard holds hands with after they're cured. Is she a lizard? A hippo? She appears to lack ears and no hippo this far has been drawn with hair.
- Is the first child who hears the violin a dog or a rabbit? He had whiskers which dogs in the seroes aren't usually drawn with, but the ears and rest of the head could go either way.
- Balcony Speech: The king holds a speech to a crowd celebrating in front of the palace. It's confusing in first shots where it isn't shown where the king is or who is he talking to.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: The king has Alfred secretly arrested, and then pretends to not know anything and be worried when Von Paljas asks after him.
- The Cake Is a Lie: The king was never going to give any money to the poor.
- Furry Female Mane: The bird nurses have hair, as well as many of the nameless patients seen during the violin montage?
- Giving Someone the Pointer Finger: Alfred angrily points his finger at the king while they're talking in the prison cell.
- Identical Stranger: The Land of Two's king's driver looks weirdly similar to sir Poen van Kalekoen's driver from the season 2 episode 17. He's even wearing the same clothes.
- Idiot Ball: Von Paljas and Henk don't appear to even consider the possibility that the king had something to do with Alfred's disappearance.
- I Lied: Once Alfred has cured the people, the king has him arrested by the security police and thrown to jail.
- Missing Child: Every child in the whole Land of Two disappears overnight, and their parents are distraught. However the only parent who's shown is Borund who reports the children's' disappearance to the king.
- Ominous Fog: A fog rises over the whole country of the Land of Two when Alfred starts playing the magic violin to get back at the king.
- Plot Hole: Where did Von Paljas get the five hours from, especially if records apparently work? Why can't they just record for, say, a hour, and then play it in a loop on the radio?
- Protagonist-Centered Morality: Aside from threatening to return the violin to the moon without curing anybody and later abducting every child in the whole country - including those of random innocent people and possibly also those of the southerners - Alfred also demands that the king sends half of everything in the north to the south immediately. Doing something on that scale would be impossible even if the king wanted to do it, and Alfred doesn't stop to consider how half of everything being taken away from the north will impact the common people, because not even in the north is everybody rich. But his actions are presented in a good light and nobody carries a grudge.
- Revenge by Proxy: Alfred targets every child in the Land of Two. Not even the children of the people whose fault it is, either. Every child in the whole country disappears, presumably including the poor southerners'.
- Schmuck Bait: For some reason, Alfred keeps the magic violin when he's thrown in prison. Naturally, he uses it quickly.
- Shout-Out: The episode's plot is a clear reference to [1].
- Skewed Priorities:
- Alfred thinks the violin being stolen would be a bad thing - not because he would be unable to return the children, but because then the king could break his promise again.
- Alfred acts like he thinks that kind of a project can start and be done quickly. At least he relents when the king tells him it's impossible and settles to the king making a public promise so that he can't back down again.
- Spoiler Title: "All's well that ends well" indicates that everything will be somehow resolved by the end of the episode.
- State Sec / Secret Police: The Land of Two has something like this, and the king orders it to arrest Alfred after the magic tune has destroyed the Mozons virus everywhere.
- Stage Fright: Alfred when he's supposed to play the magic violin on the radio.
- Surprise Jump:
- Henk's hat and sunglasses, and Von Paljas and the cats when Alfred suddenly gets stage fright.
- Later the king's hat is sent flying when he realizes the mass disappearance of children is Alfred's doing.
