Synopsis

George has a part in the school play but he's got stage fright and no costume. How can the Goffins help? With favours from their relatives and a Punch and Judy show - that's the way to do it! George is so worried about having to go on stage, he can't sleep. But Eave sees his predicament as a chance for a daring overnight visit to their estranged family: he can borrow Grandmuppy Cloister's judge's costume for the play. For their adventure to succeed, Eave has to pretend to be a French schoolboy, and Lofty a German brain surgeon - showing George that acting can be a lot of fun!
