A spirited schoolgirl and her friends accept an invitation to spend a brief holiday in a Spanish‑style mansion on the southern coast, where outdoor excursions into palms, beaches, and the Everglades lead to unexpected mysteries. They encounter puzzling letters, a secret drawer, enigmatic local figures, and stories of a ghost and buried treasure.
