Little Bo-Peep looks after Fanny Fairacre's flock of sheep on Fairacre Farm. The malevolent Lady Sneering is jealous of her relationship with Fanny's son Freddie, so she instructs evil magician Mefisto - from Cindy Sparkle's travelling show - to make the pretty shepherdess disappear. Meanwhile Fanny's gormless farmhand Wally has fallen for glamorous Cindy. Soon they all find themselves banished to the nightmarish Place of the Disappeared, with no apparent hope of return. Paul Reakes' riotous retelling of the well-known nursery rhyme features all the traditional pantomime elements as well as a travelling show, magic, dancers, and a highly talented cow.
