Can Steve the Cart Horse and his master find the fabled treasure hidden in the castle, which will stop the guy who holds the mortgage from foreclosing on the willowy Lady May? And will all the dialogue be in rhymed couplets?
I trust I will offend few people when I state that the British film cartoon industry was not as, ah, vigorous as the American? While there were half a dozen cartoon factories in the US with regular theatrical releases, and at least three more in industrial films, the Brits seemed unable to produce anything in the way of regular series.
Or perhaps that's simply because they've fallen out of public consciousness. Either way, when Roland Davies decided to turn his popular comic strip into a cartoon series, he had to found his own cartoon studio. The result looks extremely primitive to an eye used to the 'candy-box' style of animation that Disney was producing at the time, but the gags come thick and fast.
