	Without even a title to help us, a summary of this Goon Show is virtually impossible. We think the programme is about England at war in [[w:1917\|1917]] and we have also been led to believe that [[Neddie Seagoon]] buys some shares in the German army. We prefer not to commit ourselves further beyond adding that (as you have no doubt guessed) all the old characters, including the two Indian gentlemen, participate in this nameless horror.
