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...

VIBE

A delightfully earnest and colorful romp that captures the naive optimism of early sci-fi. It's a charmingly old-fashioned adventure, brimming with inventive, if slightly wobbly, contraptions and a spirit of grand, if slightly misguided, ambition.
