Synopsis: |
The children
are preparing a float for Birchdale Village Carnival; it is to be a space ship
and they are dressed as Space Invaders. In the same barn Professor Stroganoff
is busy constructing what he fervently hopes will be a Time Machine. The
children decide to hoax him into thinking that it works and that he has landed
on another planet. He is almost taken in - but the practical joke is
interrupted by the bombastic entrance of the Mayoress, a bossy dragon with her
comic husband Hercules, a henpecked mouse. She threatens to drop the children from the Carnival parade, bullies her husband and insults the Professor and his invention. In return, he persuades her inside the Time Machine, which succeeds in transporting both of them, not to another century but into the village duck pond. Lessons are learnt and all ends well! |
