In Victorian London, in 1886, Bertie Hawkins worked on the presses of "The Morning Post" for a number of years but lost his job when that tabloid was absorbed by a larger newspaper. Bertie was always interested in reading reports of the Metropolitan Police tracking down criminals and solving crimes but felt that in fact they did a very poor job of it. He decides that, being unemployed, now is his chance to see if he can do any better than the police. When he reads the account of how a young housewife has completely vanished from inside a pawnshop, Bertie starts "The Penny Court Enquirers" to show Scotland Yard how things should be done. His wife, Nellie, who controls the purse strings, insists that Bertie take his not-so-smart brother-in-law Arnold along with him on his adventures.
