== Summary ==
==== At the Castle ====
The episode starts with King Harkinian staring out into the sunset until Gwonam interrupts, mentioning that it's Harkinian's bath time.
During the King's bath, Miles Edgeworth arrives at Hyrule Castle and knocks on the door, and is greeted by Gwonam. The wizard, surprised to see Edgeworth, questions him on his reasons for the visit. Edgeworth asks to investigate a crime scene in the castle, which Gwonam allows graciously. The prosecutor thanks him, before realizing admittance to the crime scene was a bit too easy.
Harkinian, having finished his bath and hearing Edgeworth talking, ventures into the hallway completely naked (eugh!), much to the horror of Gwonam and Edgeworth.
==== Wright's Investigation ====
Meanwhile in the castle Dungeon, Phoenix Wright asks Duke Onkled if there is a way out, which he replies that the secret way out is blocked off, which a mysterious figure agrees. The figure turns out to be homicide detective Dick Gumshoe, who Wright is surprised to see, as the case wasn't a homicide. Gumshoe mumbles that Wright probably didn't get the news, but when questioned by Wright, Gumshoe denies having said anything. Having been left suspicious, Wright tells him to start looking for a way out.
Investigating a stone staircase, Wright notices that some stairs leading to a locked door are crumbling away. Gumshoe pulls on the door violently to get it open. This however creates a rumble which threatens to collapse the dungeon. Edgeworth feels the tremor in the upper floors of the castle. Wright scolds Gumshoe for almost causing the dungeon to collapse. Investigating a small hallway that leads to a dead end, Gumshoe finds some video game consoles and a Rubik's cube, which is harder for the detective to solve than he thought at first glance. Having seen no possible way out of the dungeon, Gumshoe hopes that Edgeworth is having a better time with his investigation.
==== Edgeworth's Investigation ====
Back on the upper floors of Hyrule Castle, Edgeworth is investigating the crime scene in Link's bedroom. Edgeworth says that Link witnessed a murder occur in his bedroom, and decides to test Link's credibility. For a crime scene, Link's room seems far too clean. Edgeworth tests a large cassette player for possible secrets, and a loud blast of music plays from its speakers. Frightened by the sudden noise, Edgeworth quickly turns it back off, and grumbles about today's youth. 
Getting back to the task at hand, he sees a TV with no signs of being disturbed. Out the window is one of the castle's starfighters; specifically, Link's A-wing. Someone enters the ship and takes off in it with a whoosh, surprising Edgeworth. He makes mental notes about how he checked everywhere, yet hadn't found a shred of evidence surrounding the murder. After Edgeworth puts two and two together, Gwonam flies into the room, stating he knew the same thing Edgeworth concluded: there was no murder to begin with.
Edgeworth excuses himself from Gwonam, runs out of the castle, and yells his anger out into the night. Returning to Link's bedroom, Gwonam uses his telekinesis to pull out a book hidden behind Link's bed, which hits Edgeworth in the process, and the book turns out to be Link's diary. Flipping to a recent entry Gwonam said he saw a second ago, Edgeworth comes across a plan made by Link to frame Harkinian, marry Zelda, and get Harkinian's money. 
Detective Gumshoe arrives, meaning he somehow found a way out of the dungeon. Edgeworth asks what kept Gumshoe so long, and the detective explains his reasons. Edgeworth asks if he found evidence in the dungeon, which prompts Gumshoe to reveal the Rubik's Cube, then notices that there's something inside the puzzle. Edgeworth solves the cube and finds tax receipts made out to Harkinian, with a 400,000,000,000% tax rate! Intrigued by his discovery, Edgeworth exclaims "Who... whoever heard of a 400,000,000,000% tax rate!?" as the episode ends.
