Following the failure of their father’s business and his subsequent death, the children are now penniless and find themselves living with their elderly grandfather. To help make ends meet Phil finds work in a bank — where he is wrongfully accused of stealing, and it is up to the plucky Phoebe to prove his innocence. —
