Seagoon leads a revolt of workhouse inmates against the British Government. They lay siege to 10 Downing Street. Grytpype cons Seagoon into believing that he and Yakamoto have invented an anti-gravity stick. He sends Ned to Major Bloodnok, allegedly the sole agent. While in the Sahara Desert, they spy the Eddystone Lighthouse, which is off course. Inside, Minnie and Henry light the lamp but pull the blinds so that nobody can look in. Seagoon persuades Bluebottle to drive the lighthouse to Bombay. There he buys the anti-gravity sticks from Bloodnok. Returning to England, he and his men point the sticks at the Government Ministers but nothing happens. Grytpype is awarded an OBE for foiling the revolutionary plot.
