Synopsis

James, Charlie, and Frederick, three entrepreneurial schoolboys, face a crisis when their sweet shop’s sales plummet due to poor product choices and quality issues. With a surplus of unsellable sweets, the boys argue and blame each other for their predicament. The situation takes a turn when James, inspired by a book of fairy tales, devises a clever marketing strategy. They spread a rumour that their sweets taste better to more intelligent people, creating a social buzz and a competitive frenzy among the school’s parents. This ploy not only boosts sales but also showcases the boys’ resourcefulness and cunning.
