He soon finds himself in a series of funny and weird situations because of the pajamas. At first, Mr. Lightnut is confused when he gets the bright red pajamas. He remembers they're from Roland Mastermann, who is interested in mummies and strange happenings. As he wonders about the pajamas, his servant, Jenkins, makes a funny mistake that makes him think there might be danger. This beginning mixes humor and suspense, hinting that the pajamas might be more than just a strange piece of clothing.
