Grand Fenwick is a small European duchy whose only export is wine, and the current vintage explodes in the faces of the people who buy it. Prime Minister Rupert Mountjoy asks the United States for a loan, saying the money is for space research. He wants it to rescue the duchy's finances and install modern plumbing. The Americans send twice the sum he requested. The Soviets, not wanting to be outdone, deliver an obsolete rocket.
