The boys … mehrclimb a tree to reach the balcony - then Peter sees something strange in the room behind the balcony, something to be investigated. . . . As a result the Secret Seven - the club that Peter and his friends belong to - are drawn into a very satisfactory mystery! There is excitement and plans; and misunderstandings with adults, and setbacks - But the children don't give up, and finally the mystery is solved - and what an unexpected solution it is! At the end the children have a chance to reveal their kindness, as well as their determination and mystery-solving abilities.
