Polyester Trott is so poor she is behind with her rent and Squire Fumble-Trumpet has instructed his henchmen Chip and Pin to turn her and her three sons Jack, Simple Simon and Clever Dick out of her cottage.

In order to save his mum and win the hand of the Squire's niece, Jill, Jack must find his fortune. This is not so easy when the village of Upsey Daisy is terrorised by a Giant and his sinister sidekick Fleshcreep who will stop at nothing to serve his master, even kidnapping and cooking the principal girl! 

Jack is forced to sell the family cow which he swaps for some magic beans... I wonder how that will work out for him...
