Harry persuades Tim to impersonate the owner of an oil well to help one of his many business connections keep his overdraft from being withdrawn by a bank manager who has not seen any funds coming into the account for a long time.

Unfortunately, it is right at this point that the First Gulf War breaks out. Will Tim find within himself qualities and resources he never knew existed, or will ...?
