Duncan gets a new secretary; a rangy young woman named Wilma. He's due to depart on the 7 p.m. flight to Hamburg to attend a conference of comic book editors, but first he has to collect a page of artwork from the Rush house. Dudley - who hasn't even started on it - decides some delaying tactics are called for and telephones Duncan's office using a phoney German tongue, telling him to stay put. Jacqui and Susan, meanwhile, have decided to go punk and form a rock group with their upper class friend Hugo; 'Hugo and the Harlots'. They borrow a piano from Anne, a friend of Susan's, to rehearse with. It's delivered by Fred and Ron Cash - an apt surname, since they demand 20 as compensation for industrial injuries received in the process - and Dudley promptly hurts his drawing hand in it. Hugo arrives with his latest composition, and the girls fantasize about making it to number one on "Top of the Pops"; it hardly seems likely with a song like 'Anna Key', though! Dudley telephones Duncan again, but his subterfuge is exposed when the receiver is handed to Wilma, who can speak fluent German. Duncan goes to the Rush house with an ultimatum; either Dudley completes his page within an hour, or Barney the Bionic Bulldog will be replaced by another comic strip.moreless
