A gaggle of guinea pigs discover their silly new wigs have transformed them into the newest superheroes on the block … and now it is the Guinea Wigs to the rescue!
What happens when five guinea pigs find a box of weird wigs?
Best friends Jet, Minnie, Meatball, Bud and Tofu become the GUINEA WIGS – guinea pigs but with SUPERPOWERS!
And it’s just in time, too, because somebody in town is kidnapping all the chickens.
Can the GUINEA WIGS work out how to use their new powers AND find the chickens before it’s too late?
Or will the superheroes have to wig it – I mean – wing it …?
