Synopsis

Comedy about an unsuccessful restauranteur, Dave Purcell, whose establishment The Auk is named after a very rare kind of duck. Dave's pal Phonse Murphy hits on the idea of claiming to have sighted this rare bird in order to attract more customers - and at the same time perhaps be able to unload a consignment of cocaine on the unsuspecting punters.
