After encountering a strange creature, Max & Molly go back in time to the San Diego Zoo in 1923.  There they discover a zookeeper had once tried to make all the animals seem more frightening to lure in curious customers.

Can you help Aunt Murgatroyd defeat the Trolls before they upset the stomachs and noses of the entire town?

In a surprise move, Mr. Conklin comes to Max and tries to recruit him over to the Troll’s side! In return for joining the Trolls and handing over the Time Radio and names of other Problem Solvers – Mr. Conklin will reluctantly bring back ice cream.  But if Max refuses, the Trolls will un-invent soccer.  Max finds himself at a real crossroads where no decision has a good outcome!  What will he choose?
