About[]

Dennis is an inefficient yet successful highwayman, managing to stop carriages and steal the lupins from the passengers whilst getting sidetracked during the process.

He used to give his stolen lupins to a peasant couple until they ordered him to steal something more valuable. He eventually had an epiphany when his singing chorus pointed out he was stealing from the rich, making them poor. He says "this redistribution of wealth is trickier than I thought" and adopts a new method of robbing - taking everyone's valuables and redistributing them so he and everyone else gets the same amount.
