David Fishwick wants to open his own bank to serve the needs of his local community in Burnley. Together with help from local businesses and tradesmen they turn a tiny old flower shop into Burnley's very own bank and have a grand opening.

David Fishwick's tiny bank is finally beginning to help the people of Burnley. He takes to the road in his battle-bank, a converted minibus, complete with its own cash machine and safe.

When news about Dave's bank spreads in financial circles, he is compelled to plead his case before the nation and the courts.
