Synopsis:
Ornithologist Hans Andersen is on the trail of the very rare Cackling Duckling. With a crew of friends, including Olly Pifflewaffle, his dog Poodle Maps, and housekeepers Miss Adventure and Miss Hap, Hans sets sail for Australia. By a failure of navigation, they find themselves at Loch Ness, where they are harassed by aggressive ducks intent on taking over the world.
