Synopsis

Mr. Muddle is always getting things wrong, from building his house in the wrong place to mixing up simple tasks. Living by the sea near Seatown, his muddles cause daily chaos. One day, his friend George takes him fishing, but Mr. Muddle's mistakes prevent them from catching any fish. George devises a clever plan: he asks Mr. Muddle to do the opposite of what he actually wants. Surprisingly, this strategy works, and soon everyone in Seatown is using it to help Mr. Muddle get things right.
