SCENE 1 Susan welcomes the viewer, when she hears The Count yelling, "EXTRA! EXTRA!" He's delivering copies of The Daily Count, a newspaper of his own creation. He promises there's an interesting front page story today. The article accurately predicts Susan will be given a copy and allow the Count to count his remaining copies - and to count them again. He reveals he's written "...and again" 5,000 times, but Susan doesn't wish to read such a long article. The Count reads it instead, allowing him to count his five remaining newspapers over and over.
