Skeletess Night

Skeletess Night is the 7th episode of the 1st season of the Dr. Sanjeev Punyara cartoon series. It is the first appearance of Prof. Velvet Von Billa. It is also the first time Bhadranna is arrested and Surya Singh is mentioned.

Synopsis
Professor Velvet Von Billa, a scientist at the Billapur Research Centre works on some skeletons which create a menace after breaking down and malfunctioning. They spread all over Billapur City in the middle of the night and even worse, bewilder and frighten the residents. Meanwhile, there are some others (Suraj, Suraj's gang and Bhadranna) planning to misuse the situation in Billapur. Will Santhosh and the others be able to stop the villains on time?

Plot
Santhosh and Saraswathi are walking past the entrance to a hill at 7:00 PM in the evening, after a visit to the museum. Saraswathi mentions that the hill was formerly a graveyard and comments it was spooky. However, Santhosh disregards it. Meanwhile, at the top of the hill, a cat in a car gets down and looks around. He is revealed to be Velvet Von Billa, a scientist and professor at the Billapur City Research Centre.

He unleashes his latest invention, five skeleton robots riding on bikes, which automatically move and chatter their jaws. He unleashes them thinking not many people would be around the area, but is wrong when several pedestrians outside the hill's compound wall are petrified by the talking skeletons, riding on bikes. Velvet notices that someone has hacked his remote control and was dispensing robots all over Billapur. Back at the bottom of the hill, Santhosh and Saraswathi had hidden themselves behind a building and watched the skeletons moving around after descending the hill. They quickly get into their SUV and go home.

Once they reach, they inform Seetha about the incident, to which she advises them to go and investigate. She joins the duo and they enter their other SUV (slightly older). As Dr. Sanjeev and Sumit were not home, two of their cars weren't available. Santhosh drove towards the hill, in the city outskirts, while the skeletons could be spotted roaming around more panic-stricken pedestrians. Far away, at a silent square, a cat noticed a tall skeleton with a namah on his forehead. The skeleton said, "No one shall escape from me, Kauravendra Raghava Bharagava!" The baffled cats fled the scene. The skeleton laughed in a sinister manner, ate the gobi manchoori in the restaurant stands and continued walking around.

Soon Santhosh, Saraswathi and Seetha reached the Billapur City Research Centre. Santhosh and Saraswathi asked Seetha to wait, while they entered the magnificent building, which was astoundingly lit. They inquired from an officer at the front desk, whether they could meet Velvet Von Billa. He said, "Sorry, but he's unavailable right now. You can visit his lab. Don't move anything though. I hope you have a visitor's card, as this is a government building and obviously most of the labs are top secret." "Sure, we have a personal visiting card" said Santhosh. "Good. So you are one of those the government trusts, huh!" said the cat. Santhosh immediately felt suspicious, as no government employee, especially one working with top secrets spoke in a casual and strange tone.

"Come, follow me" said the cat. Santhosh and Saraswathi followed him, while the cat stopped at a corridor, scanned the card against a scanner on the wall, and opened the wall itself, which was a thin, wooden door, invisible due to being coloured the same as the wall. They quickly descended down two flights of stairs into Velvet Von Billa's large lab, with a letter on the table. It read, "I shall be busy, because I need to meet Santhosh Punyara. My main phone number shall be busy. Ask Santhosh to contact me on 848-990" "Okay, said Santhosh. This is why Professor did not answer his phone." They thanked the officer and left. The officer offered to close the secret door once the duo had left. However, as soon as they were out into the front room, the cat turned around strangely. Suddenly, the cat's face was revealed to be a mask, worn by Bhadranna! As soon as the mask fell, revealing Bhadranna's face, he said his usual dialogue as he took out his phone to call and inform Suraj, "Bhadranna he mera naam. Or rahasya churana he mera kaam.. (Bhadranna is my name. And stealing secrets is my task..) " But as he completed it, Santhosh appeared unexpectedly with a gun, keeping Bhadranna suddenly at gunpoint. "Hands up, Bhadranna!" he shouted. "Ye ek 9 mm ke bandukh he, jis ko mene tumhara kapala ke piche rakha he. Bataav, kis ko phone kar rahe te?" (This is a 9 millimetre revolver I've held against your skull. Now, tell me, who were you calling?) Bhadranna replied in fear, "Mera dost, Klunkzbasher." (My friend, Klunkzbasher.) Santhosh replied, "Lekin vo to tumhara dushman he, dost nahi. Tum murkh ke saath nahi ho, yaad rakho!" (But he is your enemy, not your friend. You're not dealing with a fool, remember!) Bhadranna stammered, "..Surya Singh" "Lekin vo to jail me he. Uska sentence kilye abhi do mahine or he" said Santhosh, sharply. "Suraj! Suraj!" blurted Bhadranna, as soon as he heard Santhosh loading the pistol with bullets. "Suraj! Final answer! Final answer! Dekhlo, is phone me hi he." (See it, it's in this phone itself.) shouted Bhadranna, fearing for his life. Instantly, Santhosh lowered the gun, and said, "Police!" Immediately, five police officers with pistols, barged into the room, arrested Bhadranna and dragged him out of the room. "Thank you, Santhosh!" said one of the officers. "Hame Suraj ko be pakad na he" (We need to catch Suraj, too.) said one of the officers.

Santhosh said, "Uskileye, Bhadranna ka hi istamaal karo." "Ok, Santhosh" replied the police officer. Soon, Bhadranna was dragged to the police station and then into jail. Meanwhile, Santhosh and Saraswathi returned to their SUV and informed Seetha about the situation. They then tracked down Professor Velvet, posing as a gobi manchoori seller at a stall. They reached and informed him about their encounter with the skeletons, suspecting the robots may be his. He said they were right and marched. He jumped into his car and turned his gobi manchoori and pani puri stand into his car.

Professor Velvet called Santhosh's phone and they were conversing while he followed Santhosh's SUV. Meanwhile, Suraj was having a campfire at his hideout in the jungle, when he received a call from Bhadranna, who said that an old friend would help them loot the bank. Actually, it is revealed that Bhadranna is in jail with a gun held by the police sub-inspector and was forced to speak what he was told, to get Suraj arrested. Santhosh, Saraswathi, Seetha and Velvet reach the correct location where five skeletons were running around. They were soon deactivated, but two skeletons had a tilaka on their heads, due to which the skeleton with Artificial Intelligence couldn't be identified.
