The Ballad of a Thin Man
(Based on The Pardoner's Tale by Geoffrey Chaucer)
Six hundred years ago, Geoffrey Chaucer wrote English literature's first thriller: The Pardoner's Tale. In Chaucer's story, three young friends attempt to defy Death, but instead of striking them down for their insolence, the Grim Reaper leads them to a pot of gold....
Plot Synopsis
The action centres around the lives of three young people who live, work and play at a ramshakle farmhouse converted into a sound studio. From this isolated base Ian, Carrie, and Jade indulge their dreams of fame and fortune: Until their lives are disrupted by the arrival of McClaine, a rock musician who claims to have worked with all the great names of the sixties. Although the reason for McClaine's visit appears entirely innocent, it is not long before his presence begins to affect the entire household.
