"Wilf worries quite a lot. About quite a lot of things. Well, if we're being totally honest, he worries about almost everything... So, when the most evil man in the world (named Alan) moves in next door one day, Wilf is understandably rather alarmed. Especially after he learns that Alan is a self-styled Evil Lunatic, with his own grumpy robot sidekick to complete the package. Wilf's only ally in his desperate struggle to put a stop to Alan's plan to destroy the world is his sticky little sister, Dot. Can Wilf stop worrying for long enough to save the world?"-Dust jacket flap.

Wilf has had worries before, such as fish sucking his toes when he goes for a swim, or garden gnomes coming to life, or even losing his 'How to stop worrying leaflet.' Now Wilf is worried about Alan coming on vacation to Africa with him, Alan raising an army of terrifying animals in his quest for world domination and being the only person who can stop Alan.

Alan is Wilf's evil lunatic next-door-neighbor who has decided that pirating is an excellent way to destroy the world, so Wilf will have to overcome his fears fo defeat him.
