Description

Goon but not forgotten. From 1951 to 1960 the Goons ruled the airwaves, the most celebrated and influential clowns in the history of radio. Join Inspector Ned Seagoon on the trail of the horrible vanishing room, the fabled million pound penny, and the case of the Mauve Raven. Yes, folks, three thrilling crime-type murders for naughty Ned to get his nut around; plus Lord Seagoon's search for King Solomon's Mines. So travel the crazy world, Jim, with the help of the all-leather "Goon Show" in a quartet of cult comedy classics "The Moriarty Murder Mystery," "King Solomon's Mines," "The 1,000,000 Penny," and "The Vanishing Room." But beware of the very old crocodile. He won the Old Croc's Race.
