Among others attending the reading are [[Miss Marbles]] and [[Hercules Parrot]] (obvious parodies of Agatha Christie's characters!), [[Aunt Rose Madders]], [[Willoughby Stane]] and screen starlet [[Lyvinia Lavender]]. At the reading, to the horror of everyone, it is revealed that the Duke's murder was committed by someone in the room!

Ultimately, Duckula fails to recall his whereabouts on the night of the murder and confessing to the Duke's murder finds himself in the dock! (or should be say 'duck'?!)
