Dixie has discovered the streets of London are not paved with gold and is down to her last two bob when wicked landlord Skinflint chucks her & her cat, Fleabag, out of their ‘super cosy’ lodgings (under stair cupboard). Now penniless and homeless Dixie resolves to get hame to her Granny in Glasgow for Christmas. But how? Read more …
Dixie is sure something will turn up, and it does – when the legendary Bow Bells whisper “turn again Whittington” she does, but doing a turn in a lowly dive to a room full of drunken sailors was not quite the ‘turn’ she expected.
When silver tongued pirate Captain Cut-Thrapple offers her a passage north in return for ‘ratcatcher’ cat Fleabag and some ‘light duties’ can he be trusted? Is the ship’s cook Dame Dumplin’ as sweet as she seems? Will the pirate galleon ‘Partick’s Revenge’ really sail up the Clyde in time for Christmas? And surely that coastline looks more like Grenada than Greenock…
Enter hunky action hero Inverary Jones and magical mermaid Suzi-the Single-Fish, with their help Dixie might just make it back to her Glasgow Granny in time for the bells!
