Description A modern comedy with a middle-class family setting. … We are shown a father, a rampant egotist of miltantly pacifist opinions … who heard that his three boys have run away from their school. By degrees it emerges that the eldest son is by way of being a genius; that he has ideas of his own about how peace should be ensued; and that the young gentlemen have in fact stolen an aircraft and departed eastwards to do something about it….
