Mrs. Daggett and Dirtyface Jim Scurlock, the villains in Jingo Django, could be straight out of a Roald Dahl book, they’re so repulsive, stupid and mean, especially to children. Orphan Jingo is stuck with them until he encounters the mysterious Mr. Peacock-Hemlock-Jones who needs a boy’s help with a treasure hunt. But Daggett and Scurlock catch wind of the treasure and the chase is on!
