Synopsis: Daydreaming Jimmy (Monte Collins) is convinced that his theory of technocracy will change the world, bringing about perpetual wealth and leisure for mankind, yet he ends up as an unwilling terrorist for a wacky communist faction.

Purr Blur: After hiding from a policeman in a meeting of communists, Jimmy is recruited to deliver a clock containing a round ball of explosive erg to the mayor’s house, who just happens to be the father of the girl he loves. At one point the ball falls out of the clock and a mad scramble begins to get rid of the dangerous object. Jimmy runs forward to grab the ball away from the playful paws of a tiny kitten who only appears in the shot for a brief moment.

Final Mewsings: Cats should never play with balls of erg.
