It's so simple. Everyone in England wants to own their own house. Why, they'd practically kill for it! Mickey, scouting the dark alleys of South Central Salford for an elusive quarry, The Mandley Park Molester, is dragged into an investigation of deceit, fraud and arson by an attractive young woman, who happens to be a property developer, and a greedy millionairess.
Perhaps they can make beautiful music together. After all, as her drippy brother and Mickey's friends from the Fire Department keep reminding him, there's always time for singing!
