Bill and Mike are schoolboy musicians. They hear gunfire and see a man running off, wearing yellow boots. Learning from the police that a nearby jeweller's shop has been robbed, they set off to catch the thief. When they discover that their school's window cleaner, Mr Raddings, also wears yellow boots, they follow him to a container depot where he meets his accomplices, and hide inside a container. They are rescued and the criminals are caught by the police.
