My father was the keeper of the Eddystone Light
Slept with a mermaid one fine night.
From this union there came three:
A porpoise, a porgie and the other was me.
Jack studies accountancy, lives with his maiden aunt in an upright Victorian household, and smells like a fish. The fishy smell drives girls away faster than they can be introduced.
When Jack visits his father at the Eddystone lighthouse, he discovers that his mother has also come for a visit. He hasn’t met her since he was a baby, so that’s when he discovers that she's a mermaid. She sends him off on a quest to find his two lost brothers, a porpoise and a porgie fish.
Along the way, Jack battles carnival hucksters, falls in love, and meets a swarm of mermaids.
