Gurney finds himself on trial for having no sense of humour.

In the countryside, Gurney commentates an ant boxing match, spots an interesting signpost, tries to hoodwink a well, has a bone to pick with Bonaparte, sings Greensleeves with a scarecrow, chats to an alluring cow and (almost) witnesses a crime de coeur.

Gurney gets tongue tied on an airfield, conducts a lineup of prospective amoureuses, breaks up a family, tells a baby there is no such thing as Santa Claus, is granted a wish by a fairy and builds a woman from mannequin parts.
E1
