Brisco (Bruce Campbell) and Bowler (Julius Carry) stumble upon orphan siblings Tommy (Michael Cade) and Shannon (Mercedes McNab), who try to make it from Brooklyn, NY, to San Francisco without a penny to their name as they expect a vast inheritance, but they're afraid they won't make it in time and Wolfe (Sam Anderson), head of their orphanage, will steal their inheritance away from them under a pretense. So Brisco contacts his lawyer employer Socrates Poole (Christian Clemenson) to stall Wolfe - but that soon proves unnecessary as Wolfe's shot dead by a gang of Irish gangsters from Brooklyn (dubbed the johnnies) led by Monahan (Clark Heathcliff Brolly) who of course want to get their hands on the inheritance. Now Brisco and Bowler try to get the orphans to San Francisco, but that's a bigger problem than expected as Tommy's a bit of a hothead who doesn't take advice very well, even if it's for his own good, and he eventually falls for Monahan's evil scheme. Of course, eventually Brisco and Bowler set all the wrongs right again, and Socrates Poole provides the perfect happy ending by re-uniting the kids with their long-lost mother (Devon O'Brien).

Now this episode is good where the series in general is good at, and that's basically Bruce Campbell, Julius Carry and Christian Clemenson's performances and chemistry, and the comedy one has come to expect. But the story of Brisco and Bowler helping two orphans in a story that could be straight out of Dickens is really a bit much to swallow, making this not one of the better episodes of the Adventures of Brisco County jr, it's just a bit too steeped in kitsh and tired clichés.
