What if teleportation was really possible? Englishman Richie Fisher is about to find out. Richie and his wife Clara have won a weekend in New York in a newspaper competition. While Clara is off blowing their spending money, Richie wanders aimlessly, ending up in a gift-shop where he finds himself standing in front of an instant transporter machine. Richie places his burger inside, hits the return key on the linked-up computer - and the burger disappears. But if he can teleport a half-eaten veggie-burger, what else could you do with the machine? For criminals, the possibilities are endless. Richie buys a teleporter and takes it back to England, where the chaos begins ...
