An unexploded bomb in a London suburb leads to the discovery of buried treasure and an old treaty which the residents use to declare their independence from the UK. At first they celebrate their new freedoms, but when the streets are overrun but unlicensed sellers they are forced to gradually enact laws to gain some kind of control. The premise is taken to its logical extreme, with customs inspections for visitors and even treaty negotiations, but these absurdities weaken the film.
