Val Slade, a well off girl, due to circumstances her holiday plans change and with her mother away from home, she takes a tandem bike on the road. She buys a puppet show second hand to earn money along the way. She meets Tina, a gipsy girl, with a very different life from hers. They team up cycling towards Uppingsham. On their way, they give puppet shows, but they were being followed by a man and a woman who wanted the little theatre desperately — but for a reason unknown to the girls.
