Within a few hours of his arrival, Ben has been humiliated by officialdom, robbed of his money by a street urchin and left desolate by his sad discovery that the only address he has in London turns out to be a demolished house. Ironically he is befriended by the very couple of amiable tricksters who robbed hip'of the few pounds left from the sale of hit granny's farm. Ben happily takes on their offer of a friendly partnership.,He will earn the money and cook the food. Dave will show him how to enjoy it He takes Ben to Soho to give him his first taste of sex and arranges a trip to the English seaside where the cold climate is compensated for by the nubile warmth of Miss Saffra, an ambitious miss determined to escape from the ghetto.
