The
Story Strange
things occur during an election campaign to choose a leader to
represent the country village of Tantaloo at the Council. Miss
Euphoria and Fergie are the two contenders who are vying for the
position, and as the competition heats up, the village is being
bitterly divided between them. Caught up in the confusion are
the young lovers Lorenzo, Fergie's son, and Angelita, Euphoria's
daughter. The parents are determined that their children should
be separated.The villagers are also convinced that all the bad things that have been happening in the village are caused by Old Hige who has recently moved into Tantaloo. Anancy, spotting a chance to get the upper hand offers a solution, whoever gets rid of Old Hige will go on to be the representative on the Council On the way to capture Old Hige, the villagers come across two strange creatures. Fergie, Euphoria and Anancy begin to make plans as to how best to exploit the aliens to their own advantage. In a struggle to get the upper hand they are transported in time to Tantaloo in the future. Their little village has changed, although it has become a rich and powerful place - it is inhabited by women robots - not a man in sight. With Anancy's involvement trouble soon springs up and the three are transported back to the present with new knowledge that their quarelling will result in serious consequences. Fergie and Euphoria make their peace and convince the villagers that the bad things happening are manifestations of the villagers wicked behaviour. Old Hige is released, and the creatures who had come to collect their long lost relative - Old Hige - leave her to enjoy the wonderful village of Tantaloo.
