Brian Drake is still heading for the country with Tommy, a cured pyromaniac, in tow. On the way they collect two more kindred spirits, Angie, a hitch-hiking girl, and Maurice, a ball-walking postman.

Drake has found his dream home in the country, but his ex-wife is still determined to make life difficult for him. She sends Ansell, a private detective, to hunt him down.

The day of the ball-walk test run, and Drake and company find that another 'outcast' is all set to join them.
