Foundling Mick is an orphan growing up in Ireland. Overcoming a number of obstacles, Foundling Mick and Dick, another orphan whose life Foundling Mick had saved, start a small business that proves profitable for the pair. Seeking larger opportunities, they move to Dublin, where Foundling Mick's keen sense of business brings them great fortune. With the business a success, Foundling Mick now only seeks to help the good people he's met and who've helped him along the way.
