Vonney and Clive Clive masterminds a bank heist which Vonney isn't thrilled about. She can see flaws in the plan. Why rob the bank where they bank and know the bank manager? Why be disguised as     clowns, the costumes for which have been hired locally?

Something Nebulous This comedy is based on the saying that "the worm turns". In this case the worm is Herbert Miles and the person on whom he's turning is his wife Poppy. She gets it in the end - well actually in the front.
