The home of the Bleeding Heart for orphans is more like a prison than a home for parentless children. Run by the tyrannical sister Serena and her eccentric partner in crime Mr Kurtz, it doesn't take the inmates long to hatch an escape plan.

With a scheme in mind the kids begin to wreak havoc in the orphanage, until one of them is 'selected' to join the Fitzpatrick family. The escape plan quickly turns to a rescue mission and the friends set off in search of their lost 'brother'. On the run from siter Serena, Mr Kurtz, the police and the Fitzpatricks, the kids make a break for freedom in this off the wall comedy.
