In the early years of the Second World War, aeronautical engineer Barnes Wallis is struggling to develop a means of attacking Germany's dams in the hope of crippling German heavy industry. Working for the Ministry of Aircraft Production, as well as doing his own job at Vickers, he works feverishly to make practical his theory of a bouncing bomb which would skip over the water to avoid protective torpedo nets. When it came into contact with the dam, it would sink before exploding, making it much more destructive. Wallis calculates that the aircraft will have to fly extremely low (150 feet (46 m)) to enable the bombs to skip over the water correctly, but when he takes his conclusions to the Ministry, he is told that lack of production capacity means they cannot go ahead with his proposals.

Because the Poet has set up shop in a spot usually reserved for a man named Hajj, some men kidnap the Poet and take him to the desert tent of Jawan, an elderly thief. Jawan, assuming that the Poet is Hajj, orders him to reverse the curse Hajj put on him fifteen years ago, which led to the kidnapping of Jawan's beloved son. The Poet asks for one hundred gold pieces to reverse the curse; Jawan agrees, and returns to Baghdad to look for his son.

L'état de santé du pays est excellent. Se rendant compte qu'il a été dupé par son prédécesseur, mais loin de se décourager, Knock fait comprendre à chaque patient qui se presse à ses consultations que tout bien portant est un malade qui s'ignore. Le résultat ne se fait pas attendre. Tout le village se retrouve au lit ; l'hôtel est transformé en clinique et même Parpalaid revenu temporairement, doit s'aliter, inquiet à son tour pour sa santé, à la suite du « diagnostic » du docteur Knock, ce dernier ayant réussi à le persuader qu'il était en mauvaise santé.
