Scope and content

A cartoon shown across four panels which have been labelled to show their order. [Harold Wilson], wearing a sash banner saying "Decimal Currency Board", casually throws a small ball into the air in the first panel. In the second, he turns towards the falling ball and removes a revolver pistol from its holster, prepared to shoot upwards. [Wilson] then slips, missing his shot and falling backwards as his pipe slips from his mouth. In the final panel, the ball hits him on the head as he lays on the floor with a pained expression.
