A Little Thing Like Chocolate Gates Can't Stop Us

Dr Janussen discovers the terrible secret that turned Virginia into a giant broccoli monster. Starring Cassie Layton. From 2018.

It's 1952.

Again.

Professor Quanderhorn and his crew are besieged by a mob of alien-possessed villagers. Their only hope - a highly-trained spy parrot with a bad attitude and an irritating gramophone record by the Queen of the Hammond organ.

Having been permanently fitted with a rather dangerous experimental bra, Brian finally steels himself to face the nightmare horrors of the professor's cellar, unaware that a secret camera is set to expose him.

Meanwhile, Dr Janussen has discovered a message from Virginia revealing the terrible secret that turned her into a broccoli monster.

As Troy and Guuuurk join the not-quite-romantic pair while fleeing the merciless cellar defences, Troy inadvertently presses the wrong lift button and they find themselves heading pell mell....for the Moon.

The Quanderhorn Xperimentations - an adventure beyond human understanding.
