Hilary Napier is upset and angry when her father, Colonel Napier, brings in a fresh manager for the family estate which she has been running for days gone by year. Even though she cannot help liking Travis Kellaway, she resents his presence. But when her defences are divided by the illness of her brother's much-loved horse, Major, she realizes Travis's strength and compassion. It isn't long before their relationship moves to a fresh footing. Meanwhile, life in the Devon village of Burracombe is enlivened by the new Drama Club, formed by energetic young curate Felix Copley. Almost the complete village becomes mixed up in pantomime he decides to organise, with sometimes hilarious results. The main lights in the production are bossy Joyce Warren, young schoolteacher Stella Simmons and Shirley Culliford, the tiny girl from the poorest cottage in Burracombe. But tragedy strikes when Travis catches Shirley and her father, Arthur Culliford, poaching in the estate woods. Shirley is injured in the ensuing skirmish and it appears that not only the pantomime, but her very life is threatened.
