Master K'Anpo is ordered to bring the pupils to their senses by taking them on a trip to Earth for a look at the suffering caused by passions and feelings. But Disciples 18 and 42 quickly lose their teacher and embark on their first adventure. Parodying their own teachers, they call each other "Master" and "Doctor." Of course, nobody has ever explained to them what danger is. Making their own way in war-ravaged London, they quickly get in over their heads, with catastrophic results. Four Episodes. |
