Synopsis

After centuries atop his plinth in Princes Park, Lord Commander Horatio Frederick Wallington Nincompoop Maximus Pimpleberry the Third (Horace) has had enough of pranks, graffiti, and pigeon droppings. He steps down to find a more suitable home. Seven-and-a-quarter-year-old Harriet, definitely not a statue, joins him on this quest. Together, they navigate modern life, with Horace's penchant for invading everything, aiming for the perfect residence. However, Mayor Silverbottom's house, belonging to Horace's old adversary's descendant, seems the ideal spot.
