Jimmy Allen is famous and infamous in Durham and its surroundings. With his bagpipes, he travels around, bringing joy to everyone with his music. However, this joy often vanishes when listeners realise they’ve been robbed. Jimmy is not only skilled with his fingers on the bagpipes but also an expert pickpocket! Unfortunately, Jimmy’s luck runs out, and after one of his thefts, he is caught and imprisoned...
Luckily, Jimmy is allowed to keep his bagpipes with him. From his cell, beautiful music fills the air, winning over the heart of Lady Mathilde. Blinded by love, she helps Jimmy escape, and, in gratitude, he gives her his bagpipes. With a broken heart, he leaves, abandoning his great love. Will he ever get his bagpipes back? There’s no time for daydreaming; he needs to get out of the city as quickly as possible. Can Jimmy find Durham's best-kept secret, the hidden exit, without being seen?
