There she meets and befriends the remainder of the Byrd family, now fallen on hard times, but determined to restore their fortunes via the inventing genius of the elder brother. But assorted disasters befall them, and everyone is very uncomfortable until, at last, everything is sorted out and the happy ending occurs.
