[edit] Plot

Tim has been collecting various animals to take part in showbiz. However, Bill and Graeme have other ideas and put the animals to work in energy-saving domestic duties. Tim is horrified at what they have done.

Animals are granted equal rights with humans and it is now illegal for humans to exploit animals.

In the end, the humans have to disguise themselves as rabbits to escape from the fury of the animals.
