Description

Matthew's imagination is set racing after a day of playing Secret Monopoly and watching his mother balance her cheque book At midnight he awakes to find that the money he planted in the yard has bloomed into a money bush As Matthew is collecting his new-found wealth, he meets Fargo and is invited to play an all-night game of Midnight Monopoly at the bank

It's hard to know what will happen with the roll of the dice in Midnight Monopoly, but with dangerous pigeons milling about and Matthew on the scene, it's bound to be hilarious
