Little Fugitive tells the story of Lennie and his younger brother Joey. It is summertime in Brooklyn.  Lennie's mother promises him a trip to Coney Island with his friends for his birthday.  He is extremely happy to be rid of pesky little brother Joey more than anything.   When Lennie's party is canceled because his mother has to leave town and he must babysit Joey, Lennie and his friends concoct a plan that sends Joey off on his own.
