Siblings Julian, Dick, and Anne embark on an exciting adventure as they visit their uncle Quentin at his residence. Accompanying them is their cousin Georgina “George” Kirrin, who is somewhat reluctant about the trip. To make the most of the excursion, George decides to take her cousins to the Teufelsfelsen (Devil’s Rock). During their cycling journey, a competitive spirit emerges as George races against Julian and, through less-than-honest means, manages to win. After a brief rendezvous with their uncle, who departs for Felseninsel (Kirrin Island), George’s attentions shift to a mysterious situation unfolding at the rocks.
