| Plot Synopsis | Punch and Judy are alive! Returning from the puppets' graveyard, both Punch and Pretty Polly go in search of Judy. Once re-united, these former stars enact their tragi-comedy one last time. Becoming increasingly violent, the most primaeval of all English folk dramas reaches a gloved climax. All of the stock characters play their part - whether Punch, Judy, the Baby, Pretty Polly, the Devil, Scaramouch, Clown Joey, the Policeman, Beadle, Doctor, Dragon, Hobby-horse, Crocodile, Minister, Hangman, Toby Dog, the Bottler or an invisible Professor. How will it end? Shall our puppets come to grief? Who's going to give the Bottler sixpence at the close? Root-toot-toot. |

The complete film is below. Beneath it is an excerpt from it which is a humorous take on the classic puppet tale of Punch and Judy in which Bowden switches between roles using the characters as an instrument of social critique.
