A female private detective, Harriet Zapper, is hired by a rich old man to find his missing children, and becomes involved in counterfeiting and murder.

Jimpy leads a gang of kids as they attempt to beat another gang, no matter how underhanded their tactics are.

Freddie, a motor mechanic, rescues a baby, and twenty years later he offers to become responsible for him - Tony - when he is put on probation for petty theft.

With his associate, Spud, and the children, Harry and Monica, he makes for London.
