Candleshoe

The crafty con artist Harry Bundage sets his sights on the fabled treasure of pirate Captain Joshua St. Edmund. He recruits his clever cousin Clara to help him seek out its rumored location at the estate known as Candleshoe.

To further his plans, Harry enlists the help of street-smart foster child Casey Brown. Her striking resemblance to the long-lost Honourable Margaret allows her to masquerade as Lady St. Edmund's granddaughter in a quest to uncover the hidden treasure.

Upon arriving at the estate, Casey meets Lady St. Edmund, who faces mounting financial pressures to maintain her noble lifestyle. The dedicated butler Priory works tirelessly to prevent foreclosure, balancing the estate's costs with various efforts to keep the finances afloat.

As Casey becomes part of the Candleshoe household, she begins to bond with Lady St. Edmund and the local orphans who are treated as family. Her initial motivations for seeking treasure begin to shift toward a genuine concern for the wellbeing of the estate and its inhabitants.

During a critical moment, Casey tries to thwart Harry's deceitful scheme to steal funds from Lady St. Edmund. Unfortunately, her efforts lead to a severe injury, and she finds herself hospitalized with a concussion.

While recuperating, Casey learns that Lady St. Edmund plans to leave her home and send the children back to the orphanage. This revelation ignites Casey's determination to find the treasure, aiming to secure the estate's future.

With the unwavering support of Priory, Casey deciphers the final clues that lead to the treasure. This newfound resolve drives her back to Candleshoe, where she aims to thwart Harry's brazen plans.

As the confrontation escalates, Casey, Priory, and the children unite to protect the estate against Harry and his cronies. The tension rises as they face off against an impending heist that threatens their very home.

The police arrive just in time to unveil the hidden treasure, marking a victory for Casey and her allies. Their combined efforts thwart Harry's attempt at theft and bring justice to the estate.

In the aftermath of the chaos, Casey grapples with feelings of unworthiness, questioning her identity in the aristocratic world she now inhabits. She is torn between her life as a foster child and the new opportunities presented at Candleshoe.

Lady St. Edmund offers Casey the chance to truly call Candleshoe her home, an invitation that deeply resonates with her. Initially hesitant about the return of her biological granddaughter, Casey is eventually swayed by the Lady's heartfelt pleas.

Caught in a moment of reflection, Casey makes the life-changing decision to stay at Candleshoe. Her choice signifies her commitment to the estate and its inhabitants, embracing the new chapter of her life.
