Dick Whittington

Dick Whittington, together with his faithful cat Tommy, arrive in London with the idea that the streets are paved with gold! He soon finds out that this is just a myth and that he has no job and nowhere to live. A chance meeting with the lovely Alice Fitzwarren leads to him getting a position in her father’s (Alderman Fitzwarren) shop. But there is dirty work afoot created by Ratface, king of the rats, who wants to become the next Lord Mayor of London. He enlists the help of Captain Cod and Skate the Mate to frame Dick for a crime he didn’t commit. Banished from London, Dick again finds himself alone with his cat. But then he hears the sound of Bow Bells which seems to be calling him back. With Alice’s help he clears his name and sets out on a voyage to seek his fortune. With Idle Jack and Sarah the Cook aboard ship, they all set sail for more adventures which takes them to Morocco and finally back to London where Dick becomes the new Lord Mayor.
