- Summary:
- Hey! Hey! U.S.A!: "Dr. Twist is forced to pose on an Atlantic liner as the famous Professor Tavistock and is asked to tutor the precocious son of a millionaire. To avoid awkward questions about his passport when he arrives in the USA, he enlists the help of a gangster stowaway. Two rival gangs have hatched separate plans to kidnap Bertie for a ransom demand, and inevitably the hapless Dr. Twist becomes entangled in all sorts of mischief!"--Container.
- Old bones of the river: "A farcical adventure set in Africa. Will Hay stars as Professor Benjamin who hits upon the idea of opening schools for the natives. However, much to his surprise, as he heads up the river, trying to help the children, he finds himself involved in a revolt! Will he escape unscathed?"--Container.
- Ask a policeman: "Turnbotham Round is a sleepy English village, which has had no crime in the past ten years. This makes its three policemen seem rather redundant, particularly when their Chief Constable suggests on the radio that perhaps the village does not need a police force at all. When the trio's attempts to create an artificial crime wave are foiled, they are surprised to discover a real gang of smugglers."--Container.
