It is a parody of wholesome adventure stories about life in a 1920s girls' English boarding school, in a similar genre to those by Angela Brazil.

She and her best friend, zany Trixie Martin, search for the missing treasure that could save the fortunes of the exclusive Grangewood School for Young Ladies.

Along the way, Daisy overcomes false accusations, saves the lives of her enemies and discovers that the mysterious stranger seen around the grounds is her long-lost father.

[2] The programme credited the composition of the school song featured at the end of the play to "Beryl Waddle-Browne," an anagrammatical reference to producer Lloyd Webber.

[5] Dewsbury Arts Group's 1989 production of the play was actress Victoria O'Keefe's last stage role, as Sybyl Burlington, before her untimely death at 21 in a car accident in 1990.
