Ted Heath is captain of the Union Jack flagged "SS State of Emergency", packed with people; the ship is listing dangerously while all around rich businessmen are ignoring the trouble and smoking cigars, either in boats or floating on rubber rings; one of them, who has a briefcase saying "Stock exchange" and whose boat is called "Investment", is saying to Heath "Don't worry, old boy - we're just going to take a detached view on how to rescue the women and children...".

Cartoon shows a man [possible a trade union leader] with an apple on his head labelled "wildcats", Edward Heath stands at a distance with a bow and arrow. Harold Wilson stands between the two with his finger raised, appearing to lecture Heath, the caption reads "Don't you dare shoot - you might hurt the boy!" meanwhile Heath's bow and arrow hang limply in his hands and he wears a disappointed expression.

[Cartoon possibly relates to the wildcat strikes of the 1970s and may make reference to Heath's attempt to take a harder line with the unions than Wilson.]
