Jack And The Beanstalk - Compact

Dame Trott’s dairy and home are at risk of repossession by Baron Skinflint. Their cow, Buttercup, has stopped producing milk as she has been so scared by Giant Blunderbore stomping around. The Trotts decide to sell Buttercup at market.

On his way to market, Jack Trott, the Dame’s brightest son, is tricked into selling Buttercup for a bag of beans by the wicked and evil Rancid. Rancid also kidnaps Jill, Jack’s girlfriend and takes her up into the clouds.

With a little magic, the beans grow into a huge beanstalk high into the sky.

Will Jack be able to rescue Jill? Will the Giant eat her whole?

With plenty of music and madness, you are bound to enjoy this adventure of giant proportions!
