Ex-convict Roy Lewis (Norman Wooland) heads to London to see his estranged wife Ann (Silvia Francis) and 7-year-old son Ted (Dennis Waterman) but despite Ann’s wish to see Roy, her mother tells him they want nothing to do with a jailbird. Frustrated by a lack of access to his son, Roy kidnaps Ted and takes the night train to Inverness for a new life in Scotland. Unbeknown to Roy, Ted is a diabetic and without regular insulin injections is puts his son’s health in serious danger and the panic sets in to find the urgent medical attention needed.
