More DescriptionYanky does not like learning Gemarah. As a matter of fact, he does not like learning anything. What's the point? After all, he plans to be an explorer and a video game tester when he grows up.One morning, when his teacher, Rabbi Ruderman, puts Yanky to task for his lack of effort in class, Yanky decides he's had enough, and he jumps out the window and runs off to go on an adventure!He is quickly joined by his friend, Gershie - but little do they realize what kind of adventure they are about to have.Through a series of strange events, Yanky and Gershie wind up at a bris milah, which is being held in a top secret location - but then the bad guys show up. These include Baron Balmont, a really creepy guy indeed, and the equally creepy Lady Gray. In an absolutely horrifying musical performance that quickly turns into a shooting spree, a kidnapping, and an insanely wild and wicked scare-fest that includes mad masked knife throwers and torch jugglers, Yanky and Gershie wind up on a quest to solve the spine-tingling mystery of a strange gas released into a graveyard that is awakening an army of ghouls, to do the bidding of the fiendish Prince Abu Jamil, who has a devilish scheme up his sleeve to take over Eretz Yisroel!But the good news is that a great hero has been chosen, one who has the power to turn the darkness to light, one who has the power to subdue and eliminate all evil, one who has the power to win this war, and turn everything good - and that is the Lamplighter.The questions is, who is the Lamplighter?
