Lord Seagoon sets out to climb Mount Everest from the inside. After a major adventure at the door, Seagoon gains entry to the Alpine Club where he persuades Minnie and Henry to co-operate with the expedition. He borrows 30,000 pounds in farthings from Grytpype and Moriarty and sets off with mountaineer Bloodnok. They bore a hole up the middle of Everest, install a lift, and ride to the top, where they find a Union Jack. Seagoon claims the Union Jack for England.
