Ginger Meggs (Paul Daniel) is a young „Dennis the Menace“ who first appeared in Australian comic strips in 1921. In this film meant for the pre-teen set, Ginger is constantly getting himself in trouble in spite of his good intentions — at the same time, he prevaricates, he disobeys his teachers and parents, he skips school, or while in school, fights it out with the bullies — all activities that are bound to capture the attention of children who can vicariously enjoy the forbidden behavior.
