He now wants to blackmail her with explicit photos. Meanwhile, a commissioner and a state inspector appear, who have their own questions in the spreading chaos. A daring chase ensues in which neither the right item of clothing nor the right gender can lead to the answer. In the end, it all ends with Winston Churchill's penis.
