What is Alfie - Alfie Gets in First about?

Alfie is thrilled to be the first one home after a shopping trip. In his excitement, he rushes inside and slams the front door, accidentally locking Mum and baby Annie Rose outside. Alfie cannot reach the latch, while neighbours gather to work out how to help. As everyone tries different ideas, Alfie comes up with a plan of his own. Will he manage to open the door and reunite his family before the rescue turns into a neighbourhood adventure?
