00:01This is 29 Acacia Road, and this is Eric, the schoolboy who leads an amazing double life.
00:08For when Eric eats a banana, an amazing transformation occurs.
00:15Eric is Banana Man, ever alert for the call to action.
00:28It was a spooky night, Banana fans, a night when most of the townsfolk were indoors, huddled around the fire.
00:36But if you were made of sterner stuff, turned left at the corner shop, past the gasworks and up Angland's
00:42Hill,
00:43you would have come upon two shadowy figures near the old mansion.
00:50Look, there it is, Banana Man, the house on Hangman's Hill.
00:54Oh, yes.
00:55It's been standing empty for years, and now all of a sudden, it's haunted.
00:59Haunted?
01:00Yes, people report weird lights.
01:02Lights.
01:03Strange noises.
01:04Noises?
01:04What kind of noises, Chief O'Reilly?
01:07The creaking of a hangman's noose, the thump of a wooden leg.
01:11That sort of noise.
01:12Ah, listen, there it is.
01:14They say it's the ghost of Olly Earnshaw, the one-legged highwayman.
01:20He was hanged on this very hill 300 years ago.
01:24And still hanging around, eh, Chief?
01:28Yes.
01:28Right, I'm going in.
01:30What?
01:31You're going in there alone, Big Big?
01:33You know my methods, O'Reilly.
01:35Remember these villains, Banana Fans?
01:38Yes, it's the high command of the heavy mob.
01:40Their leader, Eddie the Gent, Morris the Muscle, and Rembrandt.
01:45Gosh, Eddie, counterfeiting.
01:48When you said we'd be making big money, I didn't think of this.
01:52Yes, well, just leave the thinking to me, Morris.
01:57Hold it.
01:58There's someone moving out there.
02:00Get your stations, men.
02:02No one must discover this counterfeiting operation.
02:04If any busybodies enter, just scare the daylights out of them, would you?
02:09It's night time, boss, I think.
02:11There you go again, Morris.
02:13Thinking?
02:14Oh, sorry, Eddie.
02:17Hello?
02:18Anybody at home?
02:19No, no, we've all gone to the jumble sale of the scout hut.
02:24Sorry.
02:24I see.
02:25Deserted, eh?
02:27Hmm.
02:28Wonder what's in here.
02:31Must be the den.
02:39Oh, it could be internal combustion.
02:43Or just a hot night.
02:46Oh!
02:48I can't swim.
02:50Save me.
02:54Well, well, Rembrandt.
02:56So the heavy mobs behind this so-called haunting.
03:00Start talking.
03:01What desperate crime is being committed here?
03:04And where's Eddie the gent?
03:06Oh, be reasonable, banana man.
03:07Anyone who squeals on Eddie well, he's peeled his last banana.
03:11Listen, I'll just tell you this.
03:14You will find something interesting in the library.
03:17You mean books?
03:18Ah, he's got a mind like a steel trap.
03:26Strange how those eyes seem to follow you everywhere in the room.
03:29Ah-ha!
03:31I was right.
03:32There are books.
03:37Body building for beginners.
03:40Hmm.
03:41Oh!
03:42Eddie the gent.
03:43A printing press.
03:45So that's your game.
03:47Game?
03:48No, no, banana man.
03:49We're just printing some hymn sheets for the vicar.
03:52Those hymn sheets, Eddie.
03:54They're very small.
03:56They're for a very small choir.
03:58All the same.
03:59Let's see what Chief O'Reilly makes of them.
04:02Come on, you two.
04:06Careful, banana man.
04:07Put me down, would you please?
04:08Oh, come on, look.
04:10I think I'm going to find it.
04:11I suppose there's no chance of an in-flight movie, banana man?
04:15No.
04:16I thought not.
04:19Excellent workmanship, eh, Chief?
04:20Perfect in every detail, even the watermark.
04:24But tell me, how did you know they were counterfeit?
04:28Banana man, there's no such thing as a nine-pound note.
04:32Of course.
04:33Hot weight!
04:34Hot weight!
04:35Hot weight!
04:37Hot weight!
04:46All right!
