Susan Trinder has been brought up in a house of thieves in London. She gets sucked into a plot by a family friend. She becomes Maud Lilly's maid so as to get her to marry Mr Richard Rivers. They plan to put Maud in a mental asylum once she marries so they can claim access to her £40,000. The plan becomes complicated when Susan and Maud fall in love.
Not too much from the child cast (they play the two leads when they were children, about 12, and they grow up after the first 8 minutes or so). However, this is a terrific mini-series (2x 1:30). Had me riveted from the very beginning. Watched the entire 3 hrs. at one go. The fact that one of the grown up leads is an Anna Paquin lookalike didn't hurt either.

Film makers often employ this technique of using children to get the audience emotionally involved with the characters. Another good example of that was The Man Who Cried where the little girl was so cute I liked her character even when she grew up into Christina Ricci. :think
