+== Transcription Service Synopsis ==
+Answering an advertisement to move a piano from one room to another for the large sum of ₤5, young Neddie Seagoon finds that he has been tricked. It is not, as Neddie at first thinks, 'money for old rope', but a much more cunning job that those arch-criminals [[Hercules Grytpype-Thynne|Brigadier Grytpype-Thynne]] and [[Count Jim Moriarty|Count Fred Moriarty]] have in mind. They want him to bring [[w:Napoleon|Napoleon]]'s Piano, now in the [[w:Paris|Paris]] [[w:Louvre|Louvre]], over to England – for a quick resale…
