A case of mistaken identity sees a retiring countryside columnist sent to report on revolutionary Ishmaelia. There, he's holed up with a gaggle of experienced reporters, all kept at arms' length from anything newsworthy. What follows is a hundred comedic footsteps into farce, and very good fun throughout.
