Oxford professor Adonis Cnut is invited to join the Council for International Progress, a shadowy organization which controls the world. First he must convince the British public to eat GM foods, so he sends Albumen to take part in a 'get rich quick' scheme.

When a council member announces that a meteor is due to hit Plant Earth, Cnut, Albumen and Dr. Awkward take to the skies in a hot air balloon to escape the impending disaster.

Cnut strives to convince the Prime Minister that going to war with Cuba will help to ensure his victory in the Euro referendum.

Albumen is sick and Adonis has a new television show, however when it's cancelled, he discovers a nasty truth about Nixon and Kissinger. Is it linked to Albumen's illness?
