IT TAKES A LOT TO GET UNDER THE SKIN OF CORNELIUS ‘FATTY’ O’LEARY, ...literally.

The heroically proportioned Fatty O’Leary can normally take life as it comes. Right at home in easy-going Fayetteville, Arkansas, he is happily married to his childhood sweetheart Betty and likes nothing better than chewing the fat with his good friends Tubby O’Rourke and Porky Flanagan.

But when Fatty and Betty head off to Ireland on a trip of a lifetime, they find that they have left their comfort zone far behind. Calamity and mayhem ensue as one mishap after another befalls the beleaguered couple.

Can Fatty’s broad shoulders take the strain or will he suffer one indignity too many? Will he get his just deserts or just dessert?
