Spring-Heeled Jack: The name evoked awe from both criminals
and upstanding citizens alike. Some thought he was the
devil, but he was actually the original superhero—leaping
over the buildings of Victorian England with the help of
springs in the heels of his shoes.
The story begins
as three young innocents escape their orphanage one dark and
stormy night. As they make their way through the treacherous
streets of London danger lurks, for hiding in the shadows is
Mack the Knife, the most villainous of villains. Enter
Spring-Heeled Jack, the springiest of heroes. But will
Jack’s powers be enough to save the orphans?
