Elvis dons a sweater and investigates the kidnapping of his dog Trouble.

When his dog Trouble is kidnapped, Elvis and Susan don sweaters and investigate.  With Susan Morrison. From 2015.

Elvis is struggling miserably to keep warm and fed in his bleak northern caravan site. Susan, however, is enthralled by boxed sets of Scandinavian thrillers and revels in the frozen, atmospheric wastes. When Elvis's dog Trouble mysteriously disappears, the two don sweaters and decide to investigate.

Elvis McGonagall's daft comic world of poems, mad sketches, satire and facetious remarks broadcast from his home in the Graceland Caravan Park just outside Dundee.
