Synopsis[]

Ruby and the others go on a train ride together to pick up Doom from a kitty spa. On the way, weird stuff begins to happen on the train. The conductor goes missing and so does Poe, and there's a little weird man who keeps spying on everybody. It's up to Ruby to put things right and solve these mysteries.

Opening Sketch[]

Trivia[]

  • This is the final episode of Ruby Gloom.
  • We learned that Poe is scared of trains because of a pop-up book about trains that he read when he was a child. Ironically it was The Little Engine That Could.
  • This episode contains cameo appearances by Malady & Malaise, Uta & Gunther (from "Ubergloom"), The Whites, and Mr. Mummbles. None of them actually have any speaking parts.
  • Running Gags:
    • Frank and Len want to take a picture of the "waka-waka bird", but every time it passes by, they miss it completely.
    • Dramatic background music turns out to be performed live by Skele-Tunes and his band.
    • Ruby tries to speak "detective lingo", then has to explain to everyone what she meant by what she just said.
    • Misery's illness
  • Goof: In part two of the episode, in the dark shadow of the train before the intro, Misery is nowhere to be seen in the caboose when she sneezed in part one
  • The title of this episode is an obvious reference to "Last Train to Clarksville" by The Monkees.
