Based on 4/1 The Dreaded Piano Clubber.
Henry Crun is repeatedly assaulted by a man who clubs him with a piano. Soon even BBC announcers and Members of Parliament are assaulted. When the attacks suddenly cease, Seagoon realises that the piano clubber must be having his instrument re-tuned. A search of all of London’s piano tuners finally turns up the piano at Eccles’s shop. The police watch the shop for 45 years and finally the criminal retrieves his piano. The culprit, Moriarty, is finally tracked down and forced to surrender. It turns out that he attacked Crun for a piece of string to prevent his pants from falling down.
