The clues were all there to have an alternate ending. I haven’t worked this all out yet, but it goes roughly like this:
Act III - Do the first two musical numbers.
We see DrH takes a stun raygun and covers Stun with a piece of tape with the word “Death”. (This is key.) Granted, we see him working out the formula for the death ray, but when has his stuff ever worked the way it was supposed to before?

If this was just a toy gun, how did he intend to ‘kill’ Captain Hammer with it? Maybe never intended to. This could have worked if his revelation at the end of Act II was not how to /kill/ Captain Hammer, but how to use his dim wit and his self-serving ego against himself.
And all Joss would have needed to do was leave Penny on the stage...
