This is a plain English production of the Shakespeare's classic play Much Ado About Nothing. Set in Italy, it tells the story of a romance between Claudio and Hero that is interrupted by a devious plot. This is a full-cast production of the work adapted by Charlie Creed to plain English and condensed to a 25 minute theatrical production with music and sound effects. This makes it suitable for a younger audience, though the themes of love, trickery and heartbreak, though softened and made age-appropriate are more suitable for older children aged eight years and over.

Längst ist aus Kid Bellew, dem Grünschnabel, ein erfahrener Jäger und Goldsucher, einer der kühnsten Männer des wilden Nordens geworden. Er und sein Freund Kurz durchstreifen die weißen Einöden von Alaska, und mit ihnen reist das Abenteuer. Sie gehen seltsamen Spuren im Schnee nach, die sie zu einem merkwürdigen Waldlager führen, über dessen Bewohnern ein Geheimnis zu liegen scheint… Sie steigen groß in das Geschäft mit Eiern ein, das sich allerdings sehr bald als Fehlspekulation erweist; doch Kid und Kurz nehmen Rache an denen, die sie hereingelegt und allgemeinem Spott ausgeliefert haben.

Die Fortsetzung von "Alaska Kid“ präsentiert trotz des Titels eher Solo-Abenteuer des zum erfahrenen Goldsucher gereiften Chris Bellew und einige dieser Geschichten wurden im düsteren Mehrteiler "Lockruf des Goldes“ verfilmt. Daneben steht aber auch die (bereits in "Alaska Kid“ erwähnte) Affäre mit dem Eiermonopol, die für den Hörer weitaus spaßiger ist als für die Hauptfiguren selbst.
