| Synopsis: | Jack and Katie are hard up. Then Jack's aunt dies and leaves him her manor house. She has been running it as a retirement home for some elderly people. Jack discovers that he can get £2,000 a year grant for looking after them and is glad because this will help his money worries. But there are strings attached to the grant that they fail to fulfil. Then they try to get family allowance - they try to adopt the old folk - they are dressed up as boy scouts and guides to fool the short sighted adoption agent - but he is not fooled. The old folk are all ex cons and they steal a safe full of money to help Jack and Katie. | |||||
