Three oddball puppeteers - Freddie Douglas, Snowflake Jones and Herbie Pickle - flee the set of the stop-motion Christmas special they are working on to take their own voyage North.  Only they aren’t heading for Santa’s Village, they are heading to Canada and unless they get there by Christmas Eve, Freddie’s heading for boot camp.  A wild, Yuletide road trip through the turbulent sixties with puppets, police and

peril that asks the question:

 

Who’s pulling your strings?

 

Stuart’s hilarious satire of the male dominated workplace is set in a baby formula company, where the men even determine the feeding and care of infants. But when Gina, a mother who breast-feeds, joins the staff, things begin to change: the company falls under political sabotage, orders are rerouted, and the building is shut down.

 

But who’s to blame?  The breast-obsessed boss?  The returning Greek goddess? The child assassin?
