Summary
Pathe synopsis: Introducing Britain’s strangest pair of company directors - Charles Godsall and Captain Hook. Mr Godsall is a well-known aircraft engineer and his colleague and constant companion Captain Hook is a Brazilian parrot! Admittedly the Captain doesn’t devote a great deal of time to the business, but he enjoys the advantages of home life, motoring, and shares Mr Godsall’s enthusiasm for flying.
