Walter Midgley is an inoffensive little clerk in a building company who one day decides, against his wife's wishes, to give up work to concentrate on his hobbies of keeping chickens and listening to amateur radio. He becomes the laughing stock of the neighbourhood when he tells everyone that he thinks he's received the first signals from outer space ... however they soon stop laughing when the London boffins decide that he might actually be right. They are so slow in replying that Walter decides to build his own rocket to send up samples of life on earth. What is he going to use for rocket fuel? Chicken manure of course! But will the rocket take off?
