Further details

The family adventure series set in early Victorian London continues, as gang member Tom returns to Fagin's lair to find his bed taken by new boy Dodger.

Above the notorious Fiddler's Arms pub, Bill Sikes outlines a dangerous money-making opportunity for the gang. Queen Victoria is visiting an unveiling at Madame Tussauds famous waxwork museum the following day and there will be some rich pickings.

Chief of Police Sir Charles Rowan is concerned about a death threat to Queen Victoria and tries to dissuade Her Majesty from attending the waxwork museum, but she is adamant she will go.

Sir Charles sends inept officers Duff and Blathers to the museum to keep watch overnight. They are totally useless, but this walking disaster duo is all Sir Charles has. But will they catch Fagin's pickpocketing gang and save the Queen?
