## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

London dawn, rain-slick streets. A frog in a rumpled trench coat interviews a fashion mogul while a pig in pearls fends off a hatbox. The thieves strike twice, once at the jewels, once at the pig. Henson’s 1981 vaudeville-heist, all felt hats and banana-peel timing.

**Mood tags**: cozy, playful, uplifting
