Nancy's father also wants to use this time as a way to stop his daughter's sleuthing as he finds it to be dangerous, and encourage her to focus on high school and living like a normal teenager. But unbeknownst to Carson, Nancy chose their California house because its previous owner, Dehlia Draycott, was a movie star who disappeared for several months before being murdered during a house party and found in her pool.

[Q]: Build a movie plot around this: What was the name of the slave ship? Amistad
****
[A]: Amistad is the name of a slave ship traveling from Cuba to the United States in 1839. It is carrying African people as its cargo. As the ship is crossing from Cuba to the United States, Cinque, a leader of the Africans, leads a mutiny and takes over the ship. The mutineers spare the lives of two Spanish navigators to help them sail the ship back to Africa. Instead, the navigators play out the Africans and sail north to the east coast of the United States, where the ship is stopped by the American Navy, and the 53 living Africans imprisoned as runaway slaves.In an unfamiliar country and not speaking a single word of English, the Africans find themselves in a legal battle. District Attorney William S. Holabird brings charges of piracy and murder. The Secretary of State John Forsyth, on behalf of President Martin Van Buren (who is campaigning for re-election), represents the claim of Queen Isabella II of Spain that the Africans are slaves and are property of Spain based on a treaty. Two Naval officers claim them as salvage while the two Spanish navigators produce proof of purchase. A lawyer named Roger Sherman Baldwin, hired by the abolitionist Tappan and his black associate Joadson (a fictional character[1]) decides to defend the Africans.Baldwin argues that the Africans had been captured in Africa to be sold in the Americas illegally. Baldwin proves through documents found hidden on Amistad that the African people were initially cargo belonging to a Portuguese slave ship, The Tecora. Therefore, the Africans were free citizens of another country and not slaves at all. In light of this evidence, the staff of President Van Buren has the judge presiding over the case replaced by Judge Coglin, who is younger and believed to be impressionable and easily influenced. Consequently, seeking to make the case more personal, on the advice of former American president (and lawyer) John Quincy Adams, Baldwin and Joadson find James Covey, a former slave who speaks both Mende and English. Cinque tells his story at...

[Q]: Build a movie plot around this: What activity is Katrin participating when she is killed? Making love
****
[A]:
The movie starts with the Frankenstein children, little nine-year- old Monica (Nicoletta Elmi) and her brother, Erik (Marco Liofredi), playing dissection with a doll. When they are through taking its guts out, Erik, with Monica's approval, chops its head off with a miniature guillotine.We next see the children in the company of their mother, Baroness Katrin Frankenstein (Monique van Vooren) as she brings them home after removing them from a school she no longer approves of. On the way the Baroness observes shepherds Nicholas (Joe Dallesandro) and Sacha (Srdjan Zelenovic). She chides Nicholas for neglecting his work as he sports with a peasant girl.At home her complaints to Baron Frankenstein (Udo Kier) - who is both her brother and her husband - are ignored as he is too busy working on his laboratory project. In the lab he is laboring with Otto (Arno Juerging), his assistant, to create a pair of super-humans by literally piecing together the best body parts they can find. The Baron believes that if he can bring these creatures to life and get them to mate, he can create a race of superior beings only obedient to his commands. The girl creature (Dalila Di Lazzaro) who is lying naked on a table in his lab is almost finished, but the Baron needs a head for his male creation. The Baron is not only concerned with creating living beings, but making ultimately beautiful ones, so he wants to find a male head with a Serbian nose.That night as the maid (Liu Bosisio) serves the family dinner, the Frankensteins argue. The Baroness does not know what to do with the children now they have been taken out of school so the Baron suggests she take them on a picnic. Despite scoffing at this idea, the next day she leads the children into the country-side where she again runs into Nicholas romantically involved with a girl. She scolds him and tells him to report to her at the castle the next morning.Later that day, Nicholas kids his friend Sacha about his desire to be a monk and his lack of interest in girls. He manages to...
