Beginning as an angry boast, Ray claims that he would be willing to travel to London and steal the ashes back. His two friends, Vic and Brendan, soon realize the impact that such a venture would have and begin to develop a plan to carry it out. Ray's girlfriend becomes involved and causes some problems of her own in the early stages.

The success of the robbery depends largely on their ability to create a replica urn in Brendan's garage.

Of the three characters, Ray is short tempered and at times, behaves more like a schoolboy. Brendan is the most level headed and tends to control the group in an effort to avoid confrontations. Vic is an ideas man, and develops the main plan to get hold of the urn in the first place. He has one serious problem however, in that he can never resist the temptation to play the clown. This gets him into trouble with a lot of people, including a hostess who gets her own back on the flight to Heath Row, during which he also falls foul of a customs officer and one of the passengers.

This is an adult orientated story with a humorous slant and finishes with the group disposing of the urn in Perth, with the help of a television station and several internet cafes.

By mutual agreement, the reward money offered by a brewery is to be paid directly to the children's hospital.
