Children’s film about three London children who acquire a giant prehistoric egg from their Uncle Dick (Ronald Howard) who has arrived back after investigating the flora and fauna in Malaysia for the British Museum.
The egg eventually hatches out into a mild-mannered dinosaur-like monster (who David christens “Beauty”) and as it begins to grow, the young friends release it into the lake on Hamstead Heath.
Two crooks are intent on kidnapping the creature to use as a money-making attraction for their sideshow.
