It seems that poor old Mr Cummin' was always late in coming, and even the vicar's ejaculations on the matter couldn't help, despite the fact he expected that Mr Cummin was coming and always had a little drop to offer afterwards.
Also trying to help him get there is a backing band including Max Goldberg on trumpet and Arthur Lally on alto sax, baritone sax and clarinet. They add a bit of jazzy heat but even their horns can't stiffen Mr Cummin's resolve to arrive in a timely fashion.
