	Meanwhile, the New Firm ([[Mr. Pin]] and [[Mr. Tulip]], a duo of criminals) arrive in the city. They have kidnapped a Vetinari lookalike named [[Charlie (The Truth)\|Charlie]], and are charged by the 'Committee to Unelect the Patrician' to frame Vetinari for a murder. They plan to use Charlie to frame the Patrician for attempting to run away with stolen gold, but this nearly fails due to the Patrician's Assassin skills.

They plan to use Charlie to frame the Patrician for attempting to run away with stolen gold, but this nearly fails due to the Patrician's Assassin skills. They improvise by stabbing [[Drumknott]] and pushing Charlie into the hallway to 'confess'.

	Aided by his new reporter [[Sacharissa Cripslock]] and [[vampire]] iconographer [[Otto Chriek]], De Worde investigates the embezzlement against the Patrician, annoying the [[City Watch]] in the process. As it turns out, the criminals made a mistake of letting Vetinari's dog escape, and their assisting lawyer [[Mr. Slant]] warns them that the Watch will be able to extract information from it, so the New Firm are forced to search for the dog. Meanwhile, on his way back to the press, De Worde discovers that the Guild of Engravers, now the [[Engravers' Guild\|Guild of Engravers and Prínters]] have set up a cheap tabloid paper called the ''Ankh-Morpork Inquirer'', full of totally unbelievable (even by [[Discworld]] standards) stories that a large part of the population seem to take seriously.

	In the third edition of the Times, De Worde offers $25 for finding Wuffles. This causes a huge crowd of people to arrive offering a variety of animals, while the New Firm to arrive in disguise. They are just about to attack De Worde when Otto takes a picture using "Dark Light", which as a side effect causes fear and panic among the crowd and a stampede of animals.

	While they wait for De Worde to arrive, a fight breaks out and the machinery catches fire. Mr Pin and Mr Tulip take refuge in the basement, but boiling lead starts to pour through the ceiling. Pin shoots Tulip with a crossbow, and when he escapes, he attacks De Worde in a fit of rage and gets stabbed with a paper spike. De Worde discovers a [[Dis-organiser]] and by listening through the imp's memory, discovers that his father is behind the conspiracy.

	De Worde confronts his father at his mansion, only to almost be captured and transported away. He is saved by Otto Chriek, who threatens Lord De Worde with vampiric revenge but ultimately lets him go. Using the New Firm's payment, De Worde buys a new press and unites with the Guild. Vetinari is reinstated as Patrician and informs De Worde that Charlie has decided to take up acting. The book ends after William and Sacharissa report ~~over~~ [[Captain Carrot]] saving an old lady from a runaway beer cart. Meanwhile, Mr Tulip repents before [[Death]] and is reincarnated as a woodworm, while Mr Pin is reincarnated as one of the humorously shaped potatoes mentioned in the blurb.
