A whimsical, high-spirited Victorian-era adventure comedy that treats an impossible moon mission with cheerful irreverence and slapstick charm.

Phineas T. Barnum and friends finance the first flight to the moon but find the task a little above them. They attempt to blast their rocket into orbit from a massive gun barrel built into the side of a Welsh mountain, but money troubles, spies and saboteurs ensure that the plan is doomed before it starts...
