Sounds like an interesting (and funny) story, Helena Clarke. The logline needs some work though. Here's a logline template that I use:
"After ______ (the inciting incident/the event that sets the plot in motion), a _______ (the protagonist with an adjective) tries to _______ (goal of story) so ________ (stakes)."
Loglines are one or two sentences (a one-sentence logline sounds better and it takes less time for a producer, director, etc. to read it). You can add the antagonist in the logline. The inciting incident can also be at the end of the logline.
Example #1:
"After a group of dog criminals arrives in a small town, an impulsive dog sheriff defends a dog treat factory so they won't steal food that's meant for hungry dog families."
Example #2:
"A dysfunctional couple works together to survive against bears after they crash on an abandoned road miles from help."
NOTE: Not all stories will follow this logline template. Biopics, TV shows (the overall logline for a show might not follow this template, but the logline for an episode in the show could), and documentaries might not follow this template.
