    Intermittently accompanied throughout by a sort of singing narration, we follow the soon to retire "Mr Mensah" as he looks forward to living with his wife in their new home in Ghana that he has been building for the last two years. Thing is, he rather unfortunately entrusted the construction work to his wastrel nephew who has done the bare minimum and wasted most of the cash in the process. Nephew, meantime, is having girlfriend problems. She has been poncing off him for a while whilst he has posed as the wealthy idler. When the predictable showdown time comes with his uncle, sparks ought to fly, but excuses abound: lazy workmen, spoiled cement - over one hundred pounds wasted and only a shell to show for it. He then convinces the trusting older man to give him even more money which he duly squanders, gambles, drinks and dances away too! "Mensah" is disconsolate and furious and it looks like the nephew's number might at last be up! Fortunately, for all concerned, the government are trying to stimulate the building of rural housing, so they may yet come to the rescue if only the community can rally round. The production is a little on the basic side and the sound mix makes the dialogue quite hard to make out at times, but that doesn't impact too much on the general gist of the story. If you want a job doing... Oh, and get a bigger tin of whitewash next time!
