"A 'lusty, brutally playful' Cockney sailor named Charlie Gooding comes home after a long voyage to find his home torn down and his 'warm blonde doll of a wife' vanished. He goes to stay at his mother's East End house while trying to find out what has happened. Everybody who knows Charlie is sure he'll go ballistic when he finds out the truth. Not even his own family will tell him that Maggie Gooding has shacked up with a bus driver named Bert. And she has a new baby of uncertain paternity.” (Classic Cafes)
