Cocky cockney snooker player Billy Kid accepts the challenge of a grudge match from Maxwell Randall (the Green Baize Vampire), six times world champion; the loser will never play professional snooker again. Billy the Kid is a young, up-and-coming snooker player. His manager, T.O. (The One), a compulsive gambler, falls into debt with psychopathic loan shark the Wednesday Man, who offers to cancel T.O's debt if he can arrange a 17-frame grudge snooker match between Billy and the reigning world champion Maxwell Randall (popularly known as the Green Baize Vampire). To ensure that both players will agree to the match, T.O hires a journalist, Miss Sullivan, to stir up trouble between them. She interviews Billy and the Vampire separately, asks them leading questions intended to elicit angry responses and provoke enmity, then prints the results. To ensure that both players will agree to the match, T.O hires a journalist, Miss Sullivan, to stir up trouble between them.

Press Quotes
The BFI (Britsh Film Institutute) has described it as 'undoubtedly the only vampire snooker musical in cinema history'
—BFI
Billy the Kid and the Green Baize Vampire is quirky and original enough to warrant closer inspection and a better reputation. The cast are all in fine form and the songs reflect and enable the narrative

if any freakish chance allows you the opportunity to see it, then do. You won't be bored. Bewildered maybe, confused perhaps, laughing hopefully, but definitely not bored
—paulduane, IMDB
...clever and sometimes intricate editing ...
