Summary
In this Secret Millionaires Club episode, a spooky mystery turns into a marketing lesson as the club discovers that how a business advertises and protects its good name decides whether customers show up. A ~22-minute animated story that makes a financial-literacy idea easy to drop into a social studies or economics lesson — with investor Warren Buffett as the kids' mentor.
