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.
