When Mr Bagthorpe gets his latest bank statement, all hell breaks loose! He thinks he's broke and nothing can persuade him that the bank has made a mistake. All he can think about is saving money - and that means that if the Bagthorpes don't raise it themselves, they're not eating it. No shops; no sweets; no arguments. But the Bagthorpes have never really been hunter-gatherers. So, while Granny Bagthorpe retires to her room to scoff a hamper from Harrods, the rest of the family find food - and how to stop it escaping - a whole new challenge!
