This thirty-minute frolic, the work of a Belfast journalist, tells you how sleepy little Ballymakillop lived its short fierce hour in a blaze of headlines. It all began in Sarah McWhk trick's hen-pen and the office of the Ballymakillop Enquirer. Wires buzzed, telephones rang, aeroplanes zoomed across the Channel, and questions were fired off in the Commons. And while all the Ballymakillopians wondered ' Where's that tiger?'. Sergeant Fogarty swore.
They got the tiger in the end-with the help of the police force and the Army - and all the world laughed!
