Community-minded Mr Grumblebum
notices lots of graffiti being sprayed around his home town of Farleigh as he
rides and walks around town. He decides he should try to do something about
removing the ugly graffiti.
Mr Grumblebum gains support from
the Farleigh Council who after a long meeting decide to supply him with a
“Graffiti Buster” van which would hold all the required equipment. After a
while of cleaning off graffiti and painting out “hot spots’ Mr
Grumblebum soon realises that much of his work is in vain as a couple of
days later the Graffiti Reappears.
Mr Grumblebum then decides to
catch the Graffiti Gang “red-handed” and sets about various plans
to catch up with the gang and confides with his loyal cat Foo.
