The story

The film is set in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War, in London's East End, amongst the bomb sites. 12-year-old Frankie Palmer loses the sixpence his father has given him to buy a large yellow balloon from a street seller which the boy has set his heart on. He sees that a friend of his, young Ronnie Williams, has already bought one and Frankie snatches it from him and runs away with it, with Ronnie in hot pursuit.
