Robbie , an orphaned 6 year-old Scottish boy, has been placed with... uncaring and harsh adoptive parents in London. Having accidentally set a small fire in the house, and fearing he will receive severe punishment as he has in the past for misdemeanours, he flees into the London streets. He finally takes shelter in a derelict bombed-out building, where he stumbles across Chris Lloyd and the body of the man Lloyd has just killed – his employer, who Lloyd had discovered was having an affair with his wife.
