In Victorian England, a performing dog escapes from his mean master and ends up at a small country railway station. Named "Jim" by station porter Bob, the little dog quickly becomes a favorite of the local orphanage children, especially sad young Henry (Thomas Sangster), who daily waits for the train that will take him home. When a wicked businessman plots to close the orphanage forever, Bob and the children fight back in a struggle threatened by bribery, dognapping and even an assassin who wants to kill the Queen! (official distributor synopsis)
