A young brainbox, wearing trademark specs, is sent (from America) an atomic chemistry set by his scientist father. In an attempt to gain revenge on the local bobby the kids contrive to set off a minor atomic explosion. However, following some soul-searching they decide that using atomic power to create things rather than cause explosions is much more worthwhile. They create Bang Corn an improvement on popcorn and, with the help of the local shopkeeper Miss Gossett, put it on the market with great success. In the meantime the scientists at the local research establishment are perturbed that the children have beaten them to a significant breakthrough. The authorities are called in, but eventually the process fails when the magic ingredient, a piece of volcanic rock from Krakatoa, runs out.
