Velma unmasks the fake Mr. Franklin.
First introduced by Cass Elliot to the gang, he appears to be a typical watchman, noting that he's searching for the source of an odd grinding noise. Soon after, they witness him get attacked by one of the Green Globs. This happens two additional times over the course of the mystery, with the glob he encounters always taking him away before anybody can save him.
When the green globs are unmasked, Cass Elliot is surprised to see one of them is Mr. Franklin, though Velma is suspicious and reveals it's actually Sterling Smith in a rubber mask.
