What would have happened if Alfred Hitchcock and Agatha Christie had met when they were children?
What would have happened if the two mystery titans, Alfred Hitchcock and Agatha Christie, had met when they were children? What kind of adventures would they have lived together? What surprising cases would they have solved?
Alfred lives with his family in a poor neighbourhood in East London, and he is always getting into trouble. To give him a lesson, his father locks him up in jail for one night, and it is there that a man asks for his help, desperate. He tells him to go look for Agatha Miller, the only one who can help him, for he has been wrongly accused of stealing some priceless jewels. Alfred, a bit reluctant, travels to a luxurious neighbourhood in West London searching for the woman, and he is quite surprised to learn that Agatha is, just like him, only a 10-year-old girl.
Soon, Alfred becomes an indispensable part of the Miller & Jones Agency, and, together, the two children and Snouty, Agatha’s clever dog, will investigate the most surprising cases they could have ever imagined, helped by people as important as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Thomas Alva Edison, Georges Méliès, Harpo Marx or Pablo Picasso.
