Sir Rupert and Rosie Gusset in Deadly Danger

Strong and Sharratt team up again to produce another deliciously ridiculous tale of wacky characters with daft names. Sir Rupert and his plucky daughter Rosie are ordered by ugly Queen Margaret to deliver an over-flattering portrait of her to the King of Sicily in the hope that he will want to marry her. She has a picture of the tall dark and handsome monarch and has fallen in love with him. A chest of twenty thousand gold coins is thrown in for good measure to persuade the king to pop the question. However, sailing with such a valuable cargo attracts all kinds of enemies, from within and outside the state, including a fashion conscious pirate, named Snotless, and a scheming secret agent called Murk Malpractice. The King of Sicily turns out to be as ugly as Margaret herself and there are plenty of laughs as Rosie endeavours to carry out the wishes of the Queen, prevent the baddies from stealing the gold and simultaneously ensure her father does not lose his head to the executioner’s axe.
