A drama series with a 'Star Wars' theme. Barney Cloud-hopper and Polo Solo are back from a mission but Barney is quickly bored and itching to be flying across the universe again. Zodder the ancient leader of the Jedis brings news of the Princess Clean and Clear who is being held captive on Pongadron - the smelliest planet in the universe - by the evil Bath Evada. Bath Evada has never washed and has persuaded the people of Pongadron not to wash as well. The smell is terrible. The old crew are brought back together and they set off for Pongadron to rescue the Princess. On Pongadron the Emperor challenges them to try and get 10 Pongatrons to wash. If they don't they will have to live on Pongadron for ever! Barney tries to share the joys of washing with the people, but will he succeed in getting 10 Pongotrons to wash? There is a dramatic ending as Bath Evada falls into the shower and disappears down the plughole! This is loosly based on the story of Paul and Barnabas in Cyprus.
