Back in school, he is not very attentive and falls asleep during a lesson about electricity so his teacher sends him home. On the ‘tube’ there is a sudden flash and John, the train and everyone on it has turned yellow. With the help of Nick - short for ‘Electronic’ (Robert Eddison) John learns about electricity, invades the Tower of London and saves his pet mouse…or was it a dream!
