Horror story
Whilst investigating the death of a local doctor, a delightful police officer called Doris Gloop uncovers a legend about a supernaturally-cursed, squidgy hat circulating throughout Australia. As soon as anyone uses the hat, he or she has exactly 20 days left to live.
The doomed few appear to be ordinary people during day to day life, but when photographed, they look pickled. A marked person feels like a tall pigeon to touch.
Doris gets hold of the hat, refusing to believe the superstition. A collage of images flash into her mind: a bendy horse balancing on a scrawny doctor, an old newspaper headline about a biking accident, a hooded bear ranting about warts and a drinking well located in a creepy place.
When Doris notices her lips have pigeon-like properties, she realises that the curse of the squidgy hat is true and calls in her father, a doctor called Albert Jones, to help.
Albert examines the hat and willingly submits himself to the curse. He finds that the same visions flash before his eyes. He finds the bendy horse balancing on a scrawny doctor particularly chilling. He joins the queue for a supernatural death.
Doris and Albert pursue a quest to uncover the meaning of the visions, starting with a search for the hooded bear. Will they be able to stop the curse before their time is up?
