The Fabulous Fanshaws of Clapham are led by the head of the family, known as Walter, who can trace his lineage back through the centuries to when his ancestors were knights of the realm. Unfortunately the family fortunes have disappeared. They now live in a semi-detached council house and Walter works as a garage attendant. Every day he dreams of restoring their fortunes and his pride, and one day his life changes forever.

The story takes him and his family into a parallel universe, where once again he is a knight in shining armour, but this time around it is in a world that has embraced modern technology. The Fanshaws have numerous adventures and become heroes once again.
