Jeffry, I'm no mere guinea pig! I'm a Handsome. And Handsomes have always been famous. I simply cannot be the only Handsome in history to not be famous.

Piggy Handsome is a very confident guinea pig with a hugely inflated ego - he hails from a long line of very famous guinea pigs. But sadly, Handsome hasn't yet achieved world renown.

With the help of gruff-talking Jeffry the budgie and the inadvertent efforts of two dastardly villains, Dan and Dolly Dixon, Handsome might realise his dream, get in the papers, and save the day - without even realising. All in one day trip to the seaside!
