Plot
FRED and his collegues have been planning a trip to the beach for some time. FRED is dying to try out his new surf board. But as the date draws near the Weather Forecast is disastrous: It’s predicted to rain all weekend. FRED goes to see ALI OLI and makes his wish: “I wish that the weather were good this weekend”. The genie gives him a magical weather map. You only need to place a cloud magnet on it and the sky will be covered in clouds in a split second. If you stick on a snow magnet, it will begin to snow, and the street will be covered in snow in the middle of August. If you place a magnet of lightning over the map, a thunderstorm will be unleashed. FRED is overwhelmed. He already is picturing himself riding a giant wave under the blazing sunshine. Things begin to go wrong when FRED accidentally spills some salt over the map. Superstitious FRED is convinced that this portends bad news and decides to hide the map in a safe place somewhere in his house. Unaware that that is precisely where his father keeps his work plans, saving them from his wife’s unscrupulous cleaning sprees. Unbeknown to FRED, his father will take the magic map with him to work at the TV station. For the first time in his career as the TV Weather man, his predictions are right. Soon the news will get to DON ANGELO, president of the TV Network an unscrupulous businessman. When DON ANGELO hears about the power of the map, he gets hold of it through blackmail and begins to use it for his own benefit. DON ANGELO provokes torrential rains and immediately floods the market with umbrellas and raincoats. The next day he makes the temperatures rise excessively to sell ice-creams and air-conditioning systems. Shortly afterwards he makes the temperatures drop drastically forcing the people to buy heating units and winter coats bearing his Angelo brand. In just a few days the planet’s climate is chaos. Scientists and Authorities are impotent. Only FLUKEY FRED, who knows the true cause of the problem, must try and enter DON ANGELO´s fortified mansion to recover the map. After overcoming all kinds of troubles and distress, FRED manages to bring the weather back to normal and destroy the Magical Weather Map so it doesn’t fall into the wrong hands again. As forecast, the weekend is rainy and the trip to the beach a disaster. But FRED and his friends don’t mind. They know that the planet has been saved thanks to a hero called FLUKEY FRED.
