Plot
The story concerns Richard and his chums (including Hayes, Green and O'Sullivan, in roles originally intended for members of The Shadows) trying to save their youth club from unscrupulous millionaire property developer, Hamilton Black (Morley). The members decide to put on a show to raise money to buy a lease renewal. The twist is that Nicky, Cliff Richard's character, is in reality Hamilton Black's son. He keeps this secret from his friends until some of them try to kidnap Black senior, at which stage he reveals himself to the attackers. The following scene shows Nicky and his friends pleading with Black Senior to give the club back to the youth. He eventually relents and the credits roll.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“Ends in themselves, my letters plot no change;
They carry nothing dutiable; they won’t
Aspire, astound, establish or estrange.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“There saw I how the secret felon wrought,
And treason labouring in the traitor’s thought,
And midwife Time the ripened plot to murder brought.”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
