Synopsis:<\/strong>
\nAfter the death of his father, Nicholas Nickleby (Derek Bond) arrives with his mother (Mary Merrall) and sister (Sally Ann Howes) to seek support from his cold, money-lending Uncle Ralph (Cedric Hardwicke). Hardwicke finds Howes a job as a seamstress, and Bond a position as a tutor in a boarding school run by a sadistic headmaster (Alfred Drayton) and his wife (Sybil Thorndike), where Bond befriends and rescues a crippled young man named Smike (Aubrey Woods). While rooming with his uncle’s sympathetic clerk (Bernard Miles), Bond struggles to find steady work and falls for a beautiful young woman (Jill Balcon) whose gambling father (George Relph) is indebted to Hardwicke.\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
