| Synopsis: | Cuthbert Smuglee
is addicted to computer games and almost believes that he must save the world
by defeating the Zorons. During a late night computer "battle" a Zoron-type
figure breaks into the house and kidnaps him. Before long he is assisting his
captors, the most inept gang of would-be criminals imaginable, to demand a
ransom. Meanwhile the police are called and television reporters arrive; his doting and dotty parents are distraught although his sister Jonquil throws a party to celebrate his disappearance. There is a commotion in the garden: Cuthbert is home. But that is not quite the end of the story! |
