Clemency Wrigglesworth is orphaned and penniless when she starts her long journey back to England from India. On board ship she is put in the care of a charming and kindly nanny, Mrs Potchard, who resolves to trace Clemency’s long lost relations on their arrival at Southampton. Whilst Mrs Potchard’s investigations continue Clemency is taken in by the Marvel family, an unusual and entertaining bunch, but very different from what Clemency has been used to. However, they are kind and Clemency gradually relaxes despite the worry that someone is following her. But then the sinister Miss Clawe arrives at the Marvels’ home and Clemency is taken away with only the clothes she is wearing leaving all her belongings behind. Concerned about their young charge Gully Potchard and Whitby Marvel set out to find and help her and with the help of a travelling theatre group of knife throwing Red Indians they set off. However, Clemency's problems are worse than they realise; can they find her in time?
