Poor old Mother Goose is struggling to pay her rent when her beloved goose Priscilla starts laying eggs of solid gold! She is rich beyond her wildest dreams and has everything she wants – that is except beauty.

But the evil Demon Nightshade wants the Goose for himself and tricks her into swapping Priscilla for eternal youth and beauty.

Mother Goose soon realises just what she has lost and with help from her two sons Muddles and Sam and the magical fairy feather, they embark on an adventure of a lifetime to rescue their precious goose.
