Gregory, an amateur astronomer, stares night after night at the constellation Lyra until he arouses the interest of its resident goddess who comes down to offer him her supernatural powers. But there is nothing remote about Lyra to the embarrassment of Gregory who has problems enough already, what with his girl-friend Veronica and his flat-mate, lecherous Lionel. To complicate matters further, there are Hash Harriet, a burglarious lady, and Ganymede Prout, a dim electrician, not to mention Gregory's mum and a muscular Australian sheila from down under, or the flat below.
