Synopsis

No one pulls this puppet's strings...

Felty Fuzzpalace isn't your average puppet. Brought to life by a combination of love and magic, Felty is forced to navigate the treacherous problems of the real world. And right off the bat, he finds himself tangled in a treacherous corporate conspiracy. What's a good-hearted puppet to do?

When his maker dies in a freak genetically engineered snack accident, Felty takes on the old man's debt to the mafia. And it's up to him to pay it off... fast! His puppet girlfriend masquerades as a human executive at the Power Chemicals company, and hires him on as an engineer. But when he uncovers a secret plan to produce a deadly new drug with sinister side effects, Felty faces a moral crisis.

Torn between doing the right thing, and helping his fellow puppets escape the mob, Felty must find a way to make things right. It will take guts, courage, and a few spontaneous musical numbers to defeat the corporate forces standing against him. But this puppet is ready to clip his strings and save the day.

Puppets Win Today is a humorous romp that will have you in stitches. If you like magical realism with a dark twist, then you'll love this cutting edge satire.
