Both Grytpype and Neddie claim ownership to a piece of junk found on the road. In court, it is ruled treasure trove and therefore property of the Government. Grytpype and Moriarty steal it from the Bank of England. Seagoon, thinking that the junk must have been valuable, orders his stockbroker to corner the market in junk. Ned purchases a monster warehouse from Bloodnok to hold his junk. But before he can corner the world market on junk, he must buy the portion owned by Grytpype and Moriarty. Eccles and Bluebottle try to buy the piece, which is priced eight pounds six foot three inches. Neddie, at four foot eleven, is short, but Grytpype agrees to forget the six foot four and settle for the four foot eleven, like the British high-jumpers. But as Neddie is gloating over his prize, he learns that the British junk has been devalued, and he’s ruined.
