description: Chester W. Chester IV, sole surviving heir of eccentric millionaire-inventor Chester W. Chester I, has entered into his inheritance: a semi-moribund circus; a white elephant of a run-down neo-Victorian mansion furnished with such hot items as TV sets shaped like crouching vultures; the old gentleman's final invention, a mammoth computer whose sole value seems to be as scrap metal; and one more thing - a million credits in back taxes. Either he comes up with the million credits, or it's up the river for Chester for a long, long time.That's why Chester is desperate enough to use the Generalized Nonlinear Extrapolator (GENIE for short) to perpetuate one of the biggest entertainment scams of all time - THE GREAT TIME MACHINE HOAX (But he should have read the instructon manual.)
