Synopsis

Dr. Xargle is trying to instruct the class of Queegles about Earthlings' careers. Dr. Xargle has applied for the job of head teacher at a school for Gentle Queegles. He hopes this will be his last lesson, but Matron has other plans for him. The spacecraft driver has resigned his job, and Matron tries to fly the spacecraft. Their mission on Earth is to visit the Ministry of Defence, and the Queegles are sent off to look for documents regarding Earthling space technology, particularly in relation to the possible invasion of Queeg. They are caught by Nigel Spume, but they manage to get away. On the journey home, Dr. Xargle is devastated when he learns that he has not got his job.
