	Our story opens at the bottom of the great [[w:Snowdon\|Mount Snowdon]] in a little Welsh village… One bitter winter night, all of a sudden running down the mountain comes a terror-stricken madman. It seems a monster is on the mountain – and it must be captured! This sounds like a job for [[Neddie Seagoon]] – especially as there's a [[w:Bank of England £5 note\|five pound]] reward. Meanwhile, in a small pigsty nearby, it is feeding time with [[Count Jim Moriarty\|Moriarty]] and [[Hercules Grytpype-Thynne\|Grytpype-Thynne]]. They're happy to help Neddie find the monster and offer him a Snow master Mountaineering Kit: a box of matches. As Seagoon searches the lower slopes of the mountain, he gets help from mountaineering expert [[Major Bloodnok]] who can get Neddie to the top of the mountain in two seconds. But his aim is off and Neddie finds himself at the top of [[~~w:Blackpool Tower\|~~Blackpool Tower]] instead – without a ticket.
