About[]
Boulder's Central Park 'features', after over 50 years of being a safe space, as the location of Cora Hudson's mugging when she returns home to Boulder on a visit from Boston where she's been living with her sister. Heading home in broad daylight, after purchasing a hat, having been invited to do an interview with Mindy on KTNS about her senior advocate activities, she is mugged by three men.
Seriously rattled and with the police feeling they won't be able to do anything about it, the McConnell's are most distressed by the effect the mugging has on Cora's previously indefatigable spirit, making her nervous and fearful and keen to forget about meeting up with her seniors group and inclined to go back to Boston and her sister Mildred's home there. However, her wish that the muggers could experience the sense of fear and helplessness they have instilled in her, sparks Mork's imaginative way to both ensure justice and restore Cora's confidence.
Taking on the clothes of Cora and the character of Clara, he and Cora lure out the muggers to attack a couple of 'little old ladies' before Mork hits them with an Orkan Age Warp, making them feel like they were a couple of centuries old, and leaving it to Cora to mete out some physical justice giving them what they want, her handbag, repeatedly, till finally the boy scots and the police come to rescue the muggers and cart them off to jail.
