Synopsis
Surreal comedy musical. Harry, a bald, bespectacled man with massive shirt collars, and his Nan, who lives with him, believe his pet hamster Abu is seriously ill and they set off on a road trip to Blackpool as a treat for him, pursued by an eccentric vet who is really a henchman of Harry's evil twin Otto. Otto was given away in infancy and raised by a family of Alsatians. Through a satnav error, Harry first drives them to the seaside town of Blackpole, a town with nothing to see but a single black pole and a nuclear power station. Soon Harry meets a tribe of people who are half-human, half sea shell, and he falls in love with Michelle, the daughter of tribal leader Conch. Using the services of a wily French fox, Otto eventually captures Abu and tries to add him to his display of live hamsters trapped inside hard plastic coating, but Harry and his gang set out to rescue Abu and the other hamsters, which culminates in a struggle atop the Blackpool Tower.
