Synopsis by Hal Erickson

In this episode, six chapters of "The Naked Ant" are telescoped into a battle between a polar bear and a railroad engineer. An executive board meeting is periodically interrupted by the sight of men falling from the roof of a tall building. The answer to this mystery is provided by an economist, a university professor, and a pro cricket player. Mr. Hilter, Mr. Bimmler, and Ron Viventroff attempt to revive the Bocialist party from the balcony of a boarding house in Minehead. A police sergeant won't listen to a burglary report unless it is delivered in a squeaky voice. "Vox Pops" spotlights the finals of the 127th Upper-Class Twit of the Year Contest. And the Right Honorable Lambert Warbeck suffers disaster during a broadcast of the Wood Party. Featuring Connie Booth and The Sixteen-Ton Weight, "The Naked Ant" originally aired January 11, 1970.
