It is 1750 and Daniel, the 10-year-old foundling living with  Dick Bates is worried. Dick is the owner of The Peacock  Alehouse in White Cross Street, Islington. It's a thriving  alehouse and Daniel is very happy there, looking after the  horses and sleeping in the stables. There has already been  a minor fire, which Daniel escaped from and took the horses  to safety. Is someone is trying to get rid of The Peacock? On the opposite side of Chiswell Street from The Peacock,  Sam Whitbread's huge new brewery has been built and Sam  is making a fortune from his porter. Despite his success  and the size of his operation, he won't tolerate any  competition - and that's how he sees The Peacock.   Dick suspects that Sam Whitbread is up to no good, and  asks Daniel to act as a spy for him and let him know if he  finds out anything suspicious.  We learn just what Sam's plans are and how Dick tries to  avoid losing his beloved Peacock, which is his home as  well as his livelihood.
