Summary

Reg Dudgeon (George Cole) is an "ordinary working man" living in Londongrad, capital of Communist Britain.

The Russians have taken over the country and Reg, for one, thinks it's wonderful.

He gradually begins to have doubts, however, because of the contrast between the poor standard of living of ordinary people and the champagne lifestyle of senior Communist Party members.
