In the exciting sport of chatter and squeal racing, monkey jockeys, known as chatterers, ride tall, muscular, fleet-footed racing pigs known as squealers.
The Puffwhistle family, which includes the legendary chatterer George, are very successful at racing. This means that Mrs. Puffwhistle can afford her expensive, life-saving medicine.
But Mr Scrunge, the family's old enemy, forces changes to the sport in the shape of Hairy Devil and Red Beast, a chatterer and squealer of huge size. They bring terror and wickedness to the racing for the first time, and stop the Puffwhistles from winning races.
Not only is Mrs. Puffwhistle's health at risk now but also the entire happy future of England's chatterers and squealers.
Can the Puffwhistles do anything about this new horror on the track? Can the great George take Hairy Devil on? Or will the new menace destroy them all?
