During the melee, the two young 'newlyweds' escape on a railroad hand car. In retaliation, the children attack the adults with home-made soup-can bombs. At a makeshift chapel by the railroad tracks, Ornshaw 'marries' Melody and Daniel just as carloads of parents and teachers arrive to prevent the ceremony. When the headmaster and parents respond to their marital intentions with disbelief and ridicule, the other students see Melody and Daniel as rebels and resolve to help them. While playing hooky from school at the sea-shore, Daniel and Melody realize they are in love, and decide to get married. When Daniel wins, the two boys come to a new understanding. Resentful that Daniel is spending so much time with Melody, Ornshaw joins the other students in jeering at the young couple, and eventually goads Daniel into a fist-fight. Their friendship is affected when Daniel becomes attracted to Melody Perkins. During the course of their many misadventures, Daniel and Ornshaw visit Piccadilly Circus and later get thrashed by their teacher for not doing their homework.

Daniel is well-bred but neglected by his parents and Ornshaw is an aggressive cynic who lives with his impoverished grandfather. In South London, two lonely classmates of opposite backgrounds become good friends. Bee Gees soundtrack! If you forgot what junior high school was like, this film will remind you! School cafeterias, gymnasium dances, social cliques, overbearing teachers and parents, and getting in trouble!
