Description

A compilation of four short amateur dramas. "Cidiwhack" features a boy who falls and injures himself, then applies a magic cream which develops special powers to help him fight off bullies. "The Little Man" features an unlucky girl whose fortunes change after receiving a magic ring given to her by a little man. In "Smack Bang Wallop" different groups of youngsters fight over some recently discovered blueprints. A boy finds and drinks a strange drink, grows enormous ears, gets bullied at school and gets involved in a mass brawl in "Big Ears".
