"The Mayor of Susanburg"
Directed by Francis Farrier & Maurice Braithwaite

Set in the office of the Mayor of Susanburg, the Right Honorable Mr. Mortimer Mustapha Mentore, a very controversial politician once charged for arson many years ago, Mayor Mentore is fighting for his very survival as Mayor of Susanburg. A delegation is petitioning the Government to have him removed as Mayor and the Town Council disbanded and replaced by an Interim Management Committee. Mayor Mentore however, has no intention to roll over and die. He plans to take on his enemies, "one son-of-a-bitch at a time" and prove beyond all reasonable doubt that he is the boss "The Mayor of Susanburg".

"Standpipe"
Directed by Maurice Braithwaite

And the Lord; .... having seen the poverty of fourteen families, gathered them all into one place and said, " This is your promised land." And the night came, and the fourteen families fell asleep in the open lot.  Then a wicked angel appeared in the form of a Land-lord and descended upon them. Seeing that they were without shelter, he built a range of houses around them, and in the center he placed a solitary Stand Pipe and christened it - "Tenement Yard".
