Banjo is a very hungry little boy who every evening has a sausage for his dinner. On his own little plate, with his own little knife and fork, at his own little table and chair. But one day his sausage, called Melvin, jumps off the plate and races down the road, and everything else follows - peas, French fries, carrots, fork and knife, table and chair - with Banjo bringing up the rear!
