When janitor Frank Allen gets hit by a ray of experimental science, he finds himself living in the beard of Al Lafrance. There, among the whiskers and crumbs of food, he makes a life for himself, and secretly steers Al - oblivious to the tiny man living in his beard - into making better life decisions. However, when a mad scientist discovers the location of the lab's missing janitor, everything - even love ballads - are in mortal danger!

Will Fritz. Directed by Tara MF Varney. Special effects by Jill Gillespie and Natalee Merola. Produced by Bryan Colley in association with Weeping Spoon Productions.
