Something Else has collected so many vouchers from his bottles of ‘Dr Snakeoil’ that he has won a holiday for himself and Something. Unfortunately, instead of a holiday to an exotic and relaxing place, they have won a holiday to The Stinky Slimy Place! There, they come across Prettier and Prettiest who, despite large cerise blotches over their skin, swear by the mud’s ability to make them pretty and their skin incredibly soft. Something jumps in without a second thought but SE, unimpressed with the mud and the holiday, decides to return home. When Something returns from his holiday with ultra-soft fur, a marketing plan kicks into action and bottles of ‘Dr Something’s Marvellous Mud’ are soon on the market. Will Here and There soon be full of animals with ultra-soft fur or were those cerise blotches a bit more sinister…?
