One morning a peculiar creature appears in Joe's living room and begins eating the cushions. His name is Baron Zood and he is the power-crazed, furry eared, self-styled ruler of a small, damp and rather uninteresting universe. Now the Baron has stolen a pair of magical, Universe-Jumping shoes and he is on the run. But the shoes are under a curse and every time he uses them, something unexpected happens. At the very moment the Baron appears, JoeÕs sister, Eliza, disappears into thin air. It is up to Joe and the not terribly helpful Baron Zood to get her back.
