Spelling Bee

We broadcast from Miss Krakauer’s School Jamboree, featuring recitations, dancing, and the battle of the orthographic behemoths – the Spelling Bee.

But hark! The Secret Ruffians Club is planning to force the student body to place bets on the spelling bee, and then attempt to fix the outcome. Will they get away with it?
