Synopsis
The English nursery rhyme, Pop Goes The Weasel, has had various interpretations and by giving the title to this HM-Treasury sponsored picture, the memorable lyrics helped to remind a 1948 audience that their taxes were divided up to pay for various post-war commitments and services that would benefit them.

Straight forward explanation here about how your taxes work.. at the time, as the handy discaimer note at the end states. You see a little bit goes into "War", a little goes into "Peace" and a little goes into "The National Debt" Simple! If you're a bloke who just doesnt get it, then this is the film for you.
