The story

Struggling young writer Tony Blake is served an eviction notice by Mr Slate from his rented room in a Chelsea house shared with other artistic types including abstract "flicking" painter Arnold. Tony hatches a plan to drum up interest in his rejected book on the Loch Ness Monster by faking a sighting of the creature. He and his friend Vernon, who makes electronic music, construct a phony monster, which they photograph in the Serpentine, startling a tramp.
