Dick Whittington leaves his home in Gloucester to make his fortune in London. He meets a cat along the way and adopts him and the good fairy of the Bow Bells promises to look after them on their journey. A small boy has stolen a spell book and accidentally turns himself into a giant rat, who decides that the rats should take over the land and get rid of all the humans. He is later crowned King Rat. He meets the people who live in Alderman Fitzwarren’s shop and gets a job there. He falls in love with the Alderman’s daughter Alice but is too poor to marry her. The Alderman thinks he has stolen his money and Dick has to leave London. He hears the Bells of Bow and they tell him his future, so he turns back and clears his name. He sets off on a voyage with the Alderman and his friends on a great ship. King Rat sends a storm to wreck the ship and they arrive at Morocco where they meet the Sultan. He gives Dick lots of money when King Rat is defeated, and Dick becomes Lord Mayor of London and can marry Alice.
