Child of Glass

Alexander Armsworth and his family arrive at an antebellum Louisiana plantation, where his mother and sister become determined to restore the estate's former glory. Alexander feels uneasy about the historic home, sensing a mysterious presence on the property. The family begins settling into their new life with hopes of renovation and rediscovery.

Alexander meets Blossom Culp, a superstitious girl raised by her spiritualist aunt, who becomes his loyal friend despite her strange demeanor. Blossom's curiosity about the supernatural offers Alexander a new perspective on the mysterious happenings around the plantation. Their friendship begins to deepen as they navigate the estate's secrets.

Alexander notices strange, mysterious lights flickering around the plantation at night, which unsettle him further. Curious and somewhat frightened, he becomes determined to uncover the cause of these supernatural phenomena. The lights become a recurring clue to the estate's haunted past.

While investigating the lights, Alexander finds himself in the old barn where he encounters the ghost of Inez Dumaine, a young Creole girl. She reveals that she is cursed to remain on the property and seeks help to solve a riddle to end her haunting. This marks the beginning of his supernatural quest.

Inez explains her tragic history involving her family, her uncle Jacques Dumaine, and how her spirit was cursed after her murder. She reveals that her ghost is trapped because she couldn't reveal her family's hidden fortune, which her uncle murdered her to hide.

Inez presents Alexander with a riddle that must be solved before All Saints' Eve to free her ghost. The riddle references a murdered girl and a child of glass, setting Alexander on a search to uncover the mysterious clues necessary to break her curse.

Alexander, with Blossom and her grandmother, uses Blossom’s crystal ball to visualize the solution and discovers that the 'child of glass' is a china doll named Babette. This revelation leads him to understand what needs to be done to free Inez from her curse.

The plantation's disgruntled handyman, Amory Timmons, burns down the barn as an act of revenge. During the chaos, Alexander is chased and falls into the old well, prompting the family to realize he is missing and setting off a city-wide search. Meanwhile, Amory escapes leaving chaos behind.

Blossom, light enough to be lowered into the well, rescues Alexander and retrieves the doll Babette on the ledge. They are pulled to safety, and Alexander begins to understand that the doll's significance is crucial to breaking the curse.

The trio locates Inez's family tomb and places the doll Babette on her grave. This act symbolically helps to break the curse, allowing Inez to find peace and move on. Inez's ghost manifests one last time to thank Alexander and Blossom for their help.

As Inez's ghost departs forever, the doll she left behind smashes, revealing diamonds inside—long-lost Dumaine family treasure. Inez has given Alexander the treasure, which will aid his family in restoring the plantation, symbolizing the resolution of their mystical and worldly quests.
