Mary, Billybud and Fumbleton are three miniature, human actors who perform in an eighties kids TV series. After the creator of the series has died, they are left alone in the studio. With their slowly decaying costumes and growing hunger, they continue to make increasingly strange episodes for their fans.

Mary, Billybud in Fumbleton so trije miniaturni človeški igralci, ki nastopajo v otroški TV seriji iz osemdesetih let. Ko ustvarjalec serije umre, v studiu ostanejo sami. V kostumih, ki počasi propadajo, in ob naraščajoči lakoti, nadaljujejo z ustvarjanjem vedno bolj nenavadnih epizod za svoje oboževalce.
