When the silver screen comes to Hawkinge-By-Hythe, it unleashes a ravenous werewolf on the town. Ordinarily, the scientific Alumiรจre sisters would jump at the chance to get their teeth into a really good werewolf. But the three identical, pork pie-hatted Alumiรจres are sick of being called witches, and refuse to touch it.
Handsome, young entrepreneur, Lorry Tassel, would love to ignore the werewolf, but keeps bumping into it while visiting flame-haired beauty, Ruth Leeds. And he canโt shake his suspicion that the beast shares his taste for redheadsโฆ Then thereโs the mystery of the townโs statues, sneaking about on some mission of their own, whenever people arenโt looking.
With torch-bearing vigilantes patrolling the streets, black-hooded figures in the graveyard, a werewolf stalking the woods, and statues popping out at people everywhere, events force the Alumiรจres into reluctant action.
Can there really be a perfectly rational explanation for this much mayhem?
