When faced with a villainous time-travelling Victorian Gentle Chimp, Isambard King Kong Brunel, Danger Mouse finds that arriving in the nick of time just isn't late enough. The world and reality as we know it is under threat as technology disappears only to be replaced by ridiculous alternatives. If you think that doesn't sound too bad - try flying to America in a cart pulled by seagulls! DM and Penfold track the source of this temporal anomaly to Isambard King Kong Brunel who drags them on a duel through time. Can DM overcome the bad guy by being both early, late and in the nick of time? Who knows... what any of that means?

The Baron brings Sinister Mouse - DM's evil counterpart from the Twistyverse - through to our world where he commits crimes and frames DM. DM battles Sinister Mouse to a standstill and after a case of mistaken identity DM is arrested only to be rescued by the heroic Danger Toad - a heroic version of Greenback - who has come to battle his nemesis. Together DM and DT battle their counterparts and send them to jail and the Twistyverse respectively. In a cliffhanger we see the evil Silas von Penfold - mastermind villain of the Twistyverse who plots to take over our world...
