He wants to Alfred held sports competitions on salmon fishing. First, the doctor refuses, but the British authorities know about this offer and see it as a new, unlimited possibilities in terms of research and funding.

Around the events unfolding flurry of activity the whole government, the ultimate goal of which is not in the promotion of "hunting for salmon," but to divert the public from more important issues.
