AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The economy is in trouble and The Business Council is very worried about its members. So they take drastic action – they blackmail a wealthy young tax avoider, Sam, to start spending in their members’ shops. But there’s a problem – he’s a Scrooge who hates shopping!'

'However, Barry, from the Council, is not easily put off. And when he brings Sam together with Lisa, a beautiful young shopping addict, the money starts to fly, but with unexpected results. Will the businesses be saved? Will Sam and Lisa live happily ever after in consumer bliss? Or will Barry see the light?' (Source: Canberra Ticketing website)
