The Optimist

Out jogging, The Optimist realises that is totally unfit and decides to enrol himself at a health farm, but soon discovers the place is more like a prison run by the scary Matron - half-starved, tortured in the gymnasium and physically battered in an all ladies aerobic session. Despite this he of course manages to fall in love with the Dancer as well as devises a way to eat and a plan to escape. Helped by the Dancer, a multitude of disguises and the local fire brigade, he heads for freedom, jogging into the sunset with the girl of his dreams.
