The Case of the Mukkinese Battle-Horn (also known as Gone Goon) is a 1956 British short comedy second feature ('B')[2] film directed by Joseph Sterling and starring Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan and Dick Emery.
[4][5] Supposedly filmed in "Schizophrenoscope" ("the New Split-Screen"), it concerns Superintendent Quilt of Scotland Yard's attempts to retrieve a "Mukkinese Battle-Horn'" stolen from a London museum.
The budget of £4,500 was raised from Archway Film Distributors (£1,500); Peter Weingreen, who worked with Michael Deeley and Harry Booth on The Adventures of Robin Hood (£1,500); and Joseph Sterling, who wanted to direct (£1,500).

The theft of the eponymous instrument is of virtually no significance other than to give Peter Sellers the opportunity to play three characters.
