Tom Canty, youngest son of a poor family living with the dregs of society in Offal Court, has always aspired to a better life.

Loitering around the palace gates one day, he sees the Prince of Wales -Edward VI.

There the two boys get to know one another, fascinated by each other's life and their uncanny resemblance.
