Theta, Mind-Master from an extra-galactic planet, was in situ, as secure within the confines of the beehive he had selected as were the countless millions of other minds on the planet, each ensconced within a skull of bone.The occupation of an earthly headquarters, a seemingly insignificant event at this moment, was the first move in a programme of extreme complexity. All that was to follow would be in stark contrast. The range of activities planned by this invader and his distant peers would ultimately place all civilisation in peril of extinction.The Fifth Horseman is produced by Fourth Wheel Productions.

Episode Five - Vagrants Preaching Dissension
The situation Rico and the Professor found themselves in in 1897 was proving more alarming at every turn, if not positively menacing.
The local rector considers them nothing less than emissaries of Satan and takes action that proves prejudicial to their future well-being.
In the grim surrounds of the Magistrates’ Court the two are charged under the Vagrancy Act and of propagating views of an extremely revolutionary and godless nature among the townsfolk.
Placed on remand by an incensed magistrate, the pair found themselves a causes célèbres. As the Professor remarks…
“Could it be this was a point in history when rebellion was in the air? At any rate there is certainly an underlying pool of resentment against the people in authority.”
Awaiting trial in the local gaol, their ultimate salvation must lie with Theta and his powers.
