Synopsis
Peter, a London schoolboy, finds a magic marble which grants his every wish. As Peter withdraws into a world of fantasy, his strange behavior puzzles his parents and outrages the landlady, Miss Mint. The student uses the marble to play tricks on his teacher and to get even with the school bully. When he transforms his toy steamroller into a real machine, however, it runs amok on the London docks. Rescued by his father, the boy is delighted to discover the marble missing.
