A former dog juggling star of the music hall, made obsolete by the coming of cinema, has to face up to change, conquer his inner demons and move on. In his way stands Arnold Hew, the talentless and manipulative star of the silver screen who has stolen his act and destroyed his confidence. Told in flashbacks the film charts the degradation of the dog juggler by the callous Hew and builds up to the night of their final confrontation on the stage of a crumbling music hall. © Aardman Animations Ltd 1997
