- Synopsis:
- As the Blitz rages, Gert (Elsie Waters) and Daisy (Doris Waters) volunteer to escort a rather lively group of evacuee children out of London to the safety of the English countryside. Used to the hardships of London's East End and sheltering from the bombs in Underground stations every night, the luxuries of Little Pipham Hall seem like another world. Little Pipham Hall's owner, the rather grand Lady Plumtree (Annie Esmond), is also unprepared for the two strange Londoners and their horde of undisciplined children! Soon, the grand house is in uproar and the appearance of a couple of jewel thieves intent on stealing Lady Plumtree's diamonds sets the scene for a grand farce!
