Terrible Tim and Bill’s Submarine Flying Escape
Tim and Bill build a cigar shaped flying machine to disrupt a political meeting in B city. They hijack a speaker, flee as police dive after them, and escape by transforming their craft into a subma-aeroplane, surfacing near Plymouth with Emma Hurstpank involved. The London Times later reports the dramatic stunt and hints at a new Tim and Bill invention.
