Summary
Bobby and his diminutive sidekick have fashioned a surprisingly sumptuous domicile inside a repurposed piano case, a cramped yet charming sanctuary that belies their precarious existence. Their fragile peace is shattered when an indifferent constable evicts them, thrusting the pair into a frantic flight across the city’s shadowed thoroughfares. In their scramble, they witness two con artists milking unsuspecting motorists by feigning injury; emboldened, they imitate the ruse, only to plunge deeper into the clutches of law enforcement. Seeking respite, they stumble upon a modest house where a compassionate young woman offers sustenance and shelter. The revelation that she is the very policeman’s daughter ignites a tense confrontation, but the narrative resolves with Bobby enlisting in the force, courting his benefactress, and his youthful companion finding a place within Officer Clancy’s household.
