Used to getting her way, Agnes Braintree has suffered abuse and humiliation throughout her teaching career, and the time has come totake some action. Prompted by a very public display of cheek from a junior youth club member, out of his tiny little brain on vodka, Agnessets out to force the club's closure using any means she can. However, senior club members prove to be more than a match, coming up with acunning and secret plan to bring about her downfall. After a promising start, events escalate out of control until the armed forces have to bedeployed to restore peace. Cars are set on fire; a house is blown up, ferrets are raced, cows sing, missiles are launched, and a frog croaks.
