Willie is a quiet sad child with a deprived and disturbing past, but he slowly begins to flourish under the care of `Mister Tom' and enjoys an idyllic village life.
Gradually a strong bond of friendship develops between the two. Then, quite suddenly, his mother (Annabelle Apsion) summons Willie back to the terrors of Blitz-torn London. Tom is left feeling lonely and wondering if he will ever see his dear friend again.
