Fired from his skiffle band, Francis Henshall becomes minder to Roscoe
Crabbe, a small-time East End hood, now in Brighton to collect £6,000
from his fiancée's dad. But Roscoe is really his sister Rachel posing as
her own dead brother, who's been killed by her boyfriend Stanley
Stubbers. Holed up at The Cricketers Arms, the permanently ravenous
Francis spots the chance of an extra meal ticket and takes a second job
with Stanley Stubbers, who is hiding from the police and waiting to be
reunited with Rachel. To prevent discovery, Francis must keep his two
guvnors apart. Simple.
