Ten-year-old Max Huckabee receives a flyer - it falls out of the sky - telling him to call ZinderZunder. Max's mum has a new man and a new baby and has little time for Max and his tap-dancing, so when ZinderZunder offers him a wish, Max asks for everyone to admire his dancing. As in all good fairy tales, his wish is granted but not as he expects. Suddenly everyone is crazy to see him tap-dancing and he is simply not allowed to stop. There are riots as people fight to see him and only ZinderZunder can put things right. Part of the putting right is the erasing of memories - only Max and his baby sister Fleur remember.
