The story

At the official closing of the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley Stadium, Prince Albert "Bertie", Duke of York, the second son of King George V, addresses the crowd with a strong stammer.

Bertie is frustrated, but Lionel gives him the acetate recording of the reading to take home with him.

However, Bertie plays the recording Lionel gave him that night and is astonished at the lack of stutter.
