On the other side of town, Walter Miskin RA and his wife Cora, whose idyllic artist-and-model existence and wedded bliss is marred only by the remembrance of their long-lost-baby snatched son. We are introduced to a policeman, Tom Blenkinsop, who succumbs to love at first sight seeing Victoria fleeing her parents and joins the chase, firstly to stop her jumping off the Albert Bridge and then to claim her as his love. After various incidental adventures, Tom turns out to be the long-lost son and gets Victoria for his bride.
