Spoiler-Free Synopsis
Read MoreCollapse
A desperate suburban couple summons Confuse-a-Cat, Ltd. ("Thank God we've arrived in time!") A Customs Official bypasses a confessed smuggler in favor of strip-searching a vicar, leading to a round-table discussion of customs enforcement with a duck, a cat, and a lizard. Actor Sandy Camp surrenders an illicit bag of sandwiches. A BBC newsreader incriminates himself. "Edited Highlights of Tonight's Romantic Movie" offers a montage of such phallic symbols as a tossed caber. The Head of the Careers Advisory Board is no help at all. And a burglar suffers the fate reserved for all encyclopedia salesmen. Also featuring Carol Cleveland, this episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus was originally broadcast November 23, 1969.
