In the middle of Mr Mucklebone's washing line, next to the dreadful underpants, was a very faded Superman costume. How odd! What would an old man who lived in the middle of nowhere in a tumbledown house on a tumbledown paddock be doing with a Superman costume? You might think that he was about to go to a fancy-dress party, but you would be wrong! You might think that he used to be a world famous actor who played the part of Superman, but you would be wrong! Join Mr Mucklebone (aka Super Hero) as he sets off on his rickety rackety bicycle to save the world. Or some locals, anyway. Have fun with Nonu and Molly the dogs as they make sure he doesn't get into too much trouble.
