Movie director Spike Cheez is in town, and he's on the hunt for mice to star in his latest pirate blockbuster! Scratchy, Zoomer and even President Wensley Dale are star-struck by showbiz glamour and desperate to join in -- even though Spike doesn't seem to want to pay anyone for their help. And why is there no film in his camera? Rastamouse is suspicious and sets out to prove that Spike is a fake.

Following on from the success of PIRATE RIDDIMS and MARATHON MYSTERY, this bright, colourful storybook is based on one of the episodes from the hit BAFTA-nominated TV series.
