Season 5, Episode 5: "The Contest of the Cosmos, or How Divinia von Presterton and Lord Tiberius Q. Braithwaite Defeated Invaders from Another Planet!!"

A Steampunk Galimaufrey written and directed by Keith Suta!

1901: Divinia von Presterton and Lord Tiberius Q. Braithwaite are assisting their friend, Nikola Tesla, in his latest experiment -- beaming messages into space! Unfortunately, the recipients found the messages a little TOO inviting. Soon, someone has landed in New Jersey and only Divinia holds the key to saving humankind -- or so says renowned psychic Victoria Woodhull! To save the day, she will need the help of her father (though he's only a brain in a jar), Tesla, Tiberius, and re-zombified Benjamin Franklin to save the Earth from invaders from Mars!

Featuring: Sarah Suta as Divinia von Presterton; Robert Dalton as Lord Tiberius Q. Braithwaite; Ryan Lawrence Flynn as Nikola Tesla and Benjamin Franklin; Sadie Cassavaugh as Victoria Woodhull and Carrie Nation; Christian McDaniel as Henry Ford, Preston von Presterton, and the Martian; and Keith Suta as Thomas Edison and Mr. Announcer!
