Carry on Phil [1960]

[Act 2. Scene 1. Introduction]

The scene is Red Square in Moscow. All the Russian V.I.P.s are present for the welcome to the great Socialist leader of N.Z. As he arrives (by Fokker Friendship, of course) they surge forward to meet him. The Soviet Leader (who, for the purposes of this synopsis shall remain anonymous) makes a speech of welcome and then announces the festivities in Wal's honour will begin. A flamboyant and fabulous ballet dances the dance of the Dying Tractor, starring the great ballerina Keila-nova. When the tumultuous applause has died away. Walter gets up to make a speech of thanks, but unfortunately makes several passing references to Trotsky, Marx and Stalin. These faux pas are viewed with increasing alarm by the Russian officials who at length rush forward, arrest Walter and Mabel and throw them into the dungeons for a fair trial and immediate transfer to the Siberian sait mines and the scene ends.
