Storyline

Small time crook Harry Bundage discovers that the old manor house where Lady St. Edmund resides, with three orphans and her butler Priory is the resting place for a hoard of treasure. Unfortunately, he doesn't know where it is. Bundage recruits urchin Casey Brown to dupe Lady St. Edmund into thinking that she is her long-lost granddaughter, so she can search for clues to the location of the treasure. Unbeknownst to Bundage AND her ladyship, Lady St. Edmund is flat broke, and Priory and the children help her ladyship try to keep her home and pride. Joined by Casey, they do all the chores and Priory acts as the butler, gardener, chauffeur and an old major all at the same time! Written by David A Sparling <d.a.sparling@bradford.ac.uk>

Trivia

Veronica Quilligan was apparently an eleventh-hour replacement for the role of Cluny. Early promotional stills for the film were released to the press with an entirely different young actress standing alongside the cast dressed in Cluny's costumes. See more »

Casey Brown: You creeps! You lousy creeps! Sold me out to the cops, huh?
Mrs. McCress: Shut up!
[to Jenkins]
Mrs. McCress: Well, this is her!
Casey Brown: [Casey is again grabbed by Jenkins, who examines her shoulderblade and forehead, looking at the scars. Satisfied that Casey is the one he is looking for, he tosses a large envelope of money on the table. Mr. McCress greedily opens the envelope and begins counting]
