Narrator: And now, a further adventure in the gripping series entitled 'The Adventurers'. Once again, the situation for India Rubber Jones and his trusty sidekick Cheese Plant, is more dangerous than a man-eating omelet and more useless than a snowflake in the Sahara desert.
Cheese Plant: Say, India Rubber, I'm getting kinda worried. We haven't had an incredibly dangerous adventure for at least...
[holding up every finger his hands allow]
Cheese Plant: ... ten minutes now.
India Rubber Jones: Patience, Cheese Plant, my trusty sidekick. Any time now, a request for help from a foreign power could come like lightning through that letter box.
[points off screen]
Narrator: And no sooner said, when a request for help from a foreign power came like lightning through...
[thunder strikes and a window breaks]
Narrator: ... the window.
India Rubber Jones: Get it, C.P., it's a message!
Cheese Plant: Gee, I.R., what's it say?
India Rubber Jones: It says, C.P.: 'Have you ever thought of having double glazing fitted?'
[the sound of another crash and Cheese Plant starts hopping on one leg in pain]
India Rubber Jones: But look, on the other side is a message and a map from the Prime Minister of a land called Martonia, huh. It says: 'Help needed quickly.'
Narrator: So, no sooner than it takes a flea to travel the length of a Canadian caribou, I.R. and C.P. follow the map.
India Rubber Jones: [the map appears to jump out of India Rubber's hands on it's own accord] We'd better follow the map, C.P., it seems to be leading us somewhere.
Cheese Plant: Yeah, I.R., we'll be there in no time at all.
Narrator: And it was in no time at all that they had travelled over the mountains of the Caloomatooti range, traversed the deserts of the faraway land Balonioni and cut their way through the impenetrable jungles of Quang Ho Tak High. And they were there!
India Rubber Jones: We're here, C.P.
Cheese Plant: Oh, and this must be the Prime Minister of Martonia.
Prime Minister: [looking and sounding exactly like Margaret Thatcher] Thank goodness you've come.
India Rubber Jones: No problem, P.M. C.P. and me, I.R. got your message.
Cheese Plant: What's the prob, P.M.?
Prime Minister: Well, you see, I have this very important meeting with the Queen, and I can't decide whether to wear this blue hat, or this blue hat.
India Rubber Jones: Simple. P.M., wear them both.
Narrator: And so, another excitement filled adventure came to a close. And the Prime Minister gave them seven medals each. Tune in next week for another adventure from India Rubber Jones and Cheese Plant in 'The Adventurers!'
