Synopsis


Young  Bart  Collins,  lulled  to  sleep  by  the  monotony  of his piano
lessons, dreams of a castle ruled by his piano teacher,  the  eccentric
Dr.  Teriwilliker.  Dr.  T  is  determined to prove that his 'Happy Fingers
Method' of teaching piano is  the  best  method  in  the  world.  Having
banished  all  other  musical  instruments  to  the dungeon, Dr. T lures
500 reluctant  little  boys  to  perform  in  a  colossal  concert  on  the
grandest  grand piano ever built. In his effort to escape, Bart comes in
contact with some of the strangest characters imaginable --  Siamese
twins  on roller skates, a human drum and the most memorable villain
since the 'Grinch'.
