The story starts with Dick running away from home and his mum engaging the services of a young London detective – Sherlock Holmes – to help find her son.

Dick arrives in the big smoke with his cat Tom and while working for Baron Landscape falls in love with his beautiful daughter Marigold.

But evil King Rat Bubonic III plots Dick’s downfall, framing him for burglary.

To escape wrongful imprisonment, Dick joins Captain Roger Albatross and his crew and sets sail for the Americas where he is captured by Queen Lompebom and her tribe of cannibals.
