The story

Cockney sailor Charlie comes home from a two-year voyage to find his house in East London demolished and his wife Maggie missing. She is in fact now living with bus-driver Bert and has a new baby – whose parentage is in doubt. At first, Charlie's friends and family will not tell him where Maggie is, because he is known to have a foul temper, but he hears gossip she has been living with another man.
