1950s schoolboy William Brown and his gang the Outlaws are forever getting in and out of scrapes,including trespassing at Croombe Hall,recently acquired by parvenu table sauce tycoon Mr. Bott and his cheery,expansive wife. They have a lisping,sweetly beribboned six year old daughter Violet Elizabeth,with whom a reluctant William is encouraged to play. He is mortified when she shows up in front of the gang demanding to join in their games,getting herself joyfully covered in mud. Her distraught mother reports her missing and,when William and the Outlaws return her, they are declared heroes and duly rewarded.
