Synopsis:
Billy Butterbean, son of the now demised Miller of the Village of Much-Muffin-in-The-Marsh. Has no job and no money all he has is his trusty cat Mr. Whiskas. His Auntie Flora Flapjack, who owns the local bakery, takes pity on her nephew and decides she is going to make him into “A Pillar of the Community”. With the help of Auntie Flora and Mr. Whiskas, Billy soon sets out to become rich and a suitable husband for the beautiful Princess Gwendoline. But first he must defeat the jealous noble suiter, his two henchpersons and a hideous Ogre.
