Description:

"Amateur filmmaker, cinema historian and railway engineer H.A.V. Bulleid creates a cast of curious characters in this comic tale of espionage and intrigue. When 'Frantic' Philip Phoot is charged with delivering a highly important document to a mysterious agent named Farnley, he must negotiate his way past a 'sinister novelist' named Count Miaowt and the 'terminally insane' O. Goshyme Blottough, as well as the "dangerous political maniac' Prince Xwyzedski and his band of cronies. 'Frantic' Philip's secret letter has a cast of bumbling oddballs at each others throats as this tale of intrigue, mystery, foreign spies and banana skins heads for its 'explosive' climax" (EAFA Database).
