  TAGLINE
Laughter is a state of mind.

  SUMMARY
An eccentric toymaker's last wish is that his brother takes over the running of the bussiness. The brother is a Military General, and is out of touch with toymaking, and out of touch with reality too. The bussiness really should have been given to Leslie, who was much more like his toymaking father. When the General starts making weapons instead of Toys, Leslie decides to take action.
