Synopsis for "You Should See Me Dance the Polka.."

Allan Quatermain, Wilhelmina Murray and Dr. Alphonse Moreau are waiting at a train station. When the train arrives it will carry Mina, Quatermain and a hybrid experiment of Dr. Moreau's that is expected to defeat the Martians. When they arrive, the experiment is removed from the train and the League is told they need to distract the attacking Martians until Military Intelligence can arrange to deliver the hybrid. Hyde tells Minda that he killed Griffin and tells her that it was quick, to spare her feelings. He then agrees to supply the distraction needed against the Martians. Before he does so, he asks Mina for a kiss, which she graciously supplies. Hyde dances out onto the frontline, singing a polka and is hit with the heat ray from one of the Martians. Miraculously, he survives the blast. Hyde attacks the legs of the tripod, staying beneath it, where the heat ray cannot reach him. He destroys the legs, toppling the tripod, tears it open and begins to eat the alien inside. The aliens compatriots all fire heat rays at Hyde, incinerating him.

Military Intelligence fires a cannon, delivering the experiment to the Martians. It is then that Campion Bond tells the remaining members of the League that the hybrid is in fact a combination of anthrax and streptoccus, a biological weapon. Nemo is outraged and resigns from the League. The aliens all die of disease and Quatermain mentions that England is considering changing the name of Serpentine Park to honor the fallen Hyde. Mina tells Quatermain that recent events have left her unsettled and that she must go on sabbatical until she is certain of her feelings. Quatermain finds himself seated on a park bench, alone.
