Can you teach an old villain new tricks? In an attempt to rebrand himself, ELM attends a Villain’s Anonymous meeting and learns about a way he can do some good. Desperate to leave his mark, he accepts the quest of finding Leftbeard’s Treasure–a collection of stolen left socks from across the Beandom. All those who know the secrets of the treasure are long dead, so ELM must rely on the services of Grandmother Grimma–an expert necromancer. But even as he tries to play the part of a hero, ELM feels the pull back toward the dark, and he fears his heroic journey may end up right back where he started: a villain with a missing left sock.
