Exterior. A moderately obscure European airstrip. Day. The camera dollies past a series of neatly arranged suitcases, a broken harmonium, and a pigeon holding a classified microfilm in its beak. We hear the narrator: The Film Board Gathers. This week, a gang of thugs donned their finest pastels to unravel: The Phoenician Scheme.
This week, Pete accidentally runs for office and Tommy desperately tries to get selected for jury duty—two adults chasing civic engagement like it’s a slightly weird amusement park ride with no height requirement.
