(Cut to a nice suburban street. Inside the house a stockbroker
is finishing his breakfast. His attractive wife looks
on. He picks up his hat, rises, kisses her goodbye, and
leaves, As he does so, she takes off her wrap and two
men dressed only in briefs step out of the kitchen cupboard.
In the front garden the stockbroker bids his neighbour
'good morning,' as he moves off a large African native throws
an assegai, killing the neighhour. The stockbroker,
not noticing this, moves on. A high street: he walks into a
newsagents. Behind the counter a naked young lady
gives him his newspaper.)
(Taking his change without apparently
notidng her he leaves. A bus queue: the
stockbroker is at the head of it; there are four people
behind him. As they wait, the Frankenstein monster comes
up behind them and works his way along the queue, killing
each member as he goes.)
(The monster has just reached the
stockbroker - who has not seen him - when the bus arrives
and the stockbroker gets on, just in time.)
(On the bus: all the other
passengers are uniformed soldiers. The bus drives along a
road past explosions and gunfire.)
(A hand grenade
comes through the window and lands on the seat next to the
stockbroker. The soldiers leave the bus rapidly;
the stockbroker calmly leaves the bus and walks down the
street, in which the soldiers are engaging in a pitched
battle. The stockbroker hails a taxi; it stops... but no driver is visible!)
(The stockbroker gets in the taxi and it drives off. Cut to the
stockbroker's office: a secretary is dead across her
typewriter with a knife in her back; at the back of the office
a pair of legs swing gently from the ceiling; a couple
are snogging at his desk.)
(Unconcerned, the stockbroker
sits down.)
(Furtively he looks round, then takes from the
desk drawer a comic-book entitled 'Thrills and Adventure'.)
(We see the frames of the comic strip. A Superman-type
character and a girl are shrinking from an explosion. She
is saying 'My God, he's just exploded with enough force
to destroy his kleenex. In the next frame, the Superman
character is saying 'If only I had a kleenex to lend him
- or even a linen handkerchief- but these trousers...!! No
back pocket!')
(In the frame beneath, Superman flies from side
to side attempting to escape; finally he breaks through,
bringing the two frames above down on himself. Cut to a
picture of a safety curtain.)
(An animated man comes in
front of it and says:)
