| Description |
The twins, Mickey and Edward, are separated at birth as their mother, who has been deserted by her husband, can't afford to keep both. Mrs Johnstone cleans house for the childless, upwardly-mobile Mrs Lyons, who offers to bring up one of the twins as her own. Time, distance and class cannot keep the estranged brothers apart. |
