Norman Pitkin (Norman Wisdom) works at Scotland Yard as a car cleaner but dreams of becoming a policeman like his late father. The police reject his request to join the force but recruit him to work undercover in disguise as the double of a suspected jewel thief, an Italian crime boss who looks just like him. In addition to his criminal activities this man is a ladies' hairdresser. Norman disguises himself as the suspect and gains entry to his salon. Once inside, after some mishaps, he manages to find the stolen goods, knock out the suspect, wrap him up in a curtain/wall rug, and bring him to justice. As a reward, he is offered a permanent place in the police and marries his love, the ex-girlfriend of the man he brought to justice (whom had he rescued earlier in the film when she was attempting to commit suicide by jumping in the river).

Norman vit toujours dans l'orphelinat Greenwood où il a grandi et où il est devenu un employé. Un matin, alors qu'il emmène les orphelins à l'école, ils s'arrêtent devant un magasin de jouets où une voiture à moteur impressionne les enfants, et plus particulièrement le petit Jimmy. Arrivé à l'école, Norman laisse les enfants aux bons soins d'Iris Gibson, leur professeur, mais aussi l'objet de l'affection de Norman. Mais elle s'intéresse plutôt à Alec Bigley , le fils du propriétaire du terrain sur lequel l'orphelinat est construit. En fait, c'est Mary, une autre employée, qui se languit de Norman, alors qu'il ne la remarque pas.
