A young schoolgirl navigates friendships and small scandals while at a boarding school, sharing mischief with a vivacious chum and contending with strict staff. Episodes range from an adventurous automobile ride and pond-side outings to theatrical ambitions, a runaway, and a tense visit to a distant city where she becomes temporarily adrift. Clues and behind-the-scenes encounters with managers and performers lead to mounting anxiety about an unnamed secret, which is pursued through investigations, peril, and reconciliations before a final revelation resolves the mystery.
