Enter the world of Count Arthur Strong - a faded star from the golden days of variety. He was never as famous as he thinks he was...or still thinks he is. Now, his days are all about opportunity - with another great entertainment triumph only a phone call away, but until the call comes, Arthur spends his day making the most of any other type of opportunity that comes along. This could be a free lunch or selling a dodgy foot-spa he doesn't want. He lives a "hand to mouth" existence creating chaos and confusion wherever he goes - blissfully unaware of any of it.
A knock on the head results in Arthur joining the police force as a high-ranking detective. It's up to Michael and the gang from the cafe to bring him back to reality.
