When an accentric shopkeeper tries on a pair of dazzling shoes he discovers in a London park, he little realises they're the most powerful matter-manipulating computers on Earth .. in disguise. Enticing him, they attempt to use his feet to reunite with the scientific genius who developed them. Norman's subsequent shenanigans sweep him, his highly-strung sister, young chubby nephew and baffled Scotland Yard detective into rollicking cyber-adventure. Meanwhile, beneath New York and London, Ichabod - a criminal organisation and its outlandish henchmen - will stop at nothing to secure the shoes.
