Transcription Service Synopsis
As everyone knows, there is only one genuine signed original Neddie Seagoon. In their search for the genuine article, Grytpype-Thynne, Moriarty and Neddie Seagoon are concerned with an adventure in a dustbin, a noisy episode with sixty-eight pianos and a visit to a picture restorer's workshop. Finally Eccles is thrown into a bath of turpentine and is washed away, revealing the original Neddie Seagoon by Elder the Breugel. Unfortunately a second seemingly genuine Seagoon is discovered and the problem is, which is the fake?
Music
- The BBC Radio Orchestra was conducted by Wally Stott

- The Ray Ellington Quartet plays It's All Right with Me (Cole Porter)
